======================================================================

Compared to last week:  Few reported hay sales this week.
The weather turned around as temps are drastically warmer, 75 degrees 
difference between day time highs this week and last week's overnight 
lows.
Demand mostly moderate for hay, rather light currently for straw and 
corn stalks.
Frozen ground is thawing creating very soft and muddy ground conditions.
Temps in the 50s for western SD and 40s and 50s for the eastern side 
next week.
