Compared to last report(9-19-25): Hay sold generally steady.
Very few new hay sales were seen this week as many producers are busy 
with fall harvest.
Fall rains have been beneficial and have greened pastures and rangeland 
as temperatures have cooled slightly and allowed grass to green and 
regrow.
A big system moves across the state this weekend and is forecast to bring 
upwards of 1+ inches of rain.
Many producers are busy trying to wrap up 3rd cutting before this weekends 
weather system sets in.
Heavy supplies of grain hay continue to weigh on the market.
This has put some pressure on the hay market as ranchers and feedlots 
opt to buy a lower cost feed.
Market activity was mostly slow to moderate this secession.
