Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade and movement slow to moderate. Demand moderate to fairly good. 
Alfalfa supplies and offerings light to moderate. Buyers are actively looking 
at out-of-state sources for dairy and feedlot accounts. Grass hay demand 
showed slight improvement in central and western Oklahoma but mostly in small 
volume sales. Bitter cold weather moved into the state nearly two weeks ago 
and temperatures are just now moving above freezing. Very little moisture 
came with this winter weather and drought conditions have worsened 
dramatically. 

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.
