Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade slow and movement very light. Demand very light for dairy hay, 
light to moderate for other types. Moderate to heavy rains over much of the 
state ended field work for many producers and also curtailed hay movement. 
Grass hay trading at a near standstill under very light demand and heavy 
supplies. Wheat planting estimated to be 30 percent complete, 10 percent less 
than last year. Two percent of planted winter wheat was estimated to have 
emerged. 

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
