Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade light this week. Movement was very light. Much needed rainfall 
over much of central and eastern Oklahoma contributed to the limited trade 
and movement this week. Demand was good for all alfalfa offerings. Supplies 
are very light. Grass hay trading was mostly light. Demand was moderate to 
good but weather and muddy conditions especially in eastern counties limited 
movement. Much of western Oklahoma received very little or no rain and 
drought conditions remain even in most areas that received rain this week.
