Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade and movement mostly moderate. Demand light to moderate for 
dairy hay, light for grinding hay. Grass hay demand very light. Prices fully 
steady for alfalfa and grass hay. August has proven to be a wet month for 
most of the state and for the first time in many months no area currently 
falling under any type of drought category. Rains are holding up fourth 
cutting alfalfa in parts of the state. Producers must choose between getting 
hay rained on or baling overly mature hay later. 

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
