Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade light to mostly moderate. Movement moderate and demand moderate 
for Premium and Good grade alfalfa. Demand also improved for better quality 
wheat hay. Prices fully steady with recent weeks. Wheat planting continues to 
lag behind average and early wheat pastures developing very slowly. The state 
received its first hard freeze of the year over the bulk of central and 
western Oklahoma this week. 

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.
