OKLAHOMA HAY MARKET REPORT

Alfalfa trade mostly moderate, slightly improved over recent weeks. Bulk of 
movement consisted of Premium and Good quality alfalfa moving to dairies. Grass 
hay movement was mostly light to moderate in central and eastern counties. 
Supplies of Supreme quality alfalfa very light and supplies of Premium quality 
mostly moderate. Alfalfa meadows showing limited growth at this time and future 
cuttings are expected to have below average yields. Grass hay yields in central 
and eastern counties also below year ago levels. Abnormally dry conditions are 
increasing in portions of 20 western, central and eastern counties. 

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
