Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade mostly moderate with the bulk of interest coming from out of 
state. Grass hay trade moderate locally. Over the past week the bulk of demand 
has centered around grinding hay which is proving hard to locate. Demand for 
Premium and Supreme dairy hay remains mostly moderate to good. Confirmed sales 
of all classes of hay remain steady but some sellers are resisting current bids. 
Scattered rains statewide last week brought much needed moisture to portions of 
central and eastern Oklahoma. Grass hay yields have been well below normal so 
far this year. 

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
