OKLAHOMA HAY MARKET REPORT

Alfalfa movement remains extremely light on very light supplies and moderate 
demand. New crop harvest will begin as soon as weather allows. More rains last 
week and continued rainfall this week is preventing haying of alfalfa and wheat 
hay. Prices have not been tested in recent weeks except on a few loads of grass 
hay and untested alfalfa. While green-up is here there are still a few areas 
reporting continued supplemental feeding of hay and cubes. Some agronomists are 
reporting wheat development is running as much as two weeks ahead of normal in 
parts of the state.

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.
