Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade moderate on moderate to good demand. Movement mostly moderate, 
instances fairly active in western and central Oklahoma. Prices are fully 
steady. Movement was also good on wheat hay in western counties. Grass hay 
demand and movement very light and supplies mostly burdensome. Third and 
fourth cutting of alfalfa still underway. Good rains and growing conditions 
also adding to grass supply and many producers still cutting and baling grass 
hay despite limited demand. Wheat planting expected to begin in next week to 
10 days.
