OKLAHOMA HAY MARKET REPORT

Alfalfa movement very slow on light supplies and limited demand. An undetermined 
amount of dry cow and grinding alfalfa have been donated to portions of 
northwestern Oklahoma and southern Kansas affected by recent wildfires. Most 
donated hay has been grass, wheat and oat hay. Dairy demand remains extremely 
light. Alfalfa growers have been spraying fields for a few weeks and are 
preparing equipment for first cutting. Wildfires in Oklahoma are about 75 
percent contained at the time of this report but more warm and windy weather 
forecast for the week may hamper firefighters. 

Market News continues to maintain an online hay directory for both in-state
and out-of-state hay producers.  The directories are on the ODAFF homepage
at www.oda.state.ok.us. Producers wishing to list hay are encouraged to call
at 1-800-580-6543 or email jack.carson@ag.ok.gov.
