Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade light and movement light to moderate. Alfalfa demand remains 
very good but supplies are extremely light. Buyers are actively seeking 
supplies both in and out of state. Prices are not notably higher but nearly 
all sales at upper end of ranges. Alfalfa growers were spraying for aphids 
this week. Grass hay trading was moderate to active under good demand. 
Supplies of higher quality grass hay are becoming hard to find. Drought 
conditions are worsening in much of western Oklahoma and portions of central 
Oklahoma. 

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
