In Hallytteville on August 20, more than 2000 pounds of new cotton hay were marketed, sold as fast as picked. About half the crop has been harvested with yields well below expectations due to nearly three months without rain and a drought that halted top crop growth, leaving stalks short and picking light.
Rough, off grade lots dominated the opening rice sale at Eagle Lake conducted by the American and Texas Rice Crowns Associations. Prices fell short of expectations as weather and harvest timing affected quality with rough, greenfished rice selling to Standard Rice and several mills. Early Prolific and Burly Prolific varieties brought mixed prices from $3.10 to $8.17 per 100 pounds, reflecting uncertain demand and stock quality.
