Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade and movement slow to moderate. Demand fairly light for most dairy 
hay, very light for grinding type alfalfa. Alfalfa prices fully steady on 
confirmed sales. Grass hay demand remains light and movement remains limited. 
Scattered rains and slightly cooler temperatures are providing some grass hay 
producers another short cutting of hay but yields will still be significantly 
lower than average. 

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.
