Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade continued very slow with demand very light for all offerings. 
Movement very light. Rains disrupted the final alfalfa cutting and some 
meadows will be very mature before fieldwork is possible. Wheat planting, 
already behind average, was also further delayed. Fieldwork is now very 
active wherever it is dry enough to plant. Grass hay is still not moving. 
Trading and demand are extremely light.

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
