Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade light to moderate and movement mostly light. Demand light to 
moderate from dairies, very limited from other sources. Prices fully steady 
in the limited test. Last cutting of alfalfa wrapping up this week ahead of 
the expected first freeze of the year for most of central and western 
Oklahoma. Grass hay trading remains at a near standstill in most areas. 
Demand is extremely light and supplies heavy. Wheat planting is still well 
behind average statewide.
