Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade mostly slow and movement light to moderate. Alfalfa demand 
moderate from dairies, grinding alfalfa demand very light. Grass hay demand very 
light. Alfalfa prices holding steady as supplies of Supreme and Premium quality 
alfalfa are becoming harder to find. Cooler temperatures and light to moderate 
rain earlier this week brought relief from the heat but not much in the way of 
help for dryland alfalfa producers. Grass hay baling activities continue fairly 
active despite lack of demand.

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.
