[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1809959, member: 498"] I talked to a man who bought alfalfa for $150 a ton last week. He told me that the export guys gave the hay growers 10% ended up walking away. So there is a lot of perfectly good last year hay around. I know of one place which has 8 or 10 pivots. Last years hay still in the stacks and first cutting this years hay stacked beside it. There is a lot of hay that get rained on the last two weeks. This week I have probably drove by a couple of thousand acres of rained on hay. So there will be a lot of bleached out cow hay available this year along with last year alfalfa. I also saw 3 or 4 pivot of corn that looks like it was frosted. I have no idea how long or if ever it will take that corn to recover. Some of it looks to be 3/4 dead. Others it is just the tops of the plants dead with green down low. On June 20 it was 33 degrees here in the morning. Where that corn is the elevation is 800/900 feet higher so I am sure it got below freezing. [/QUOTE]
