Alfalfa trade and movement at a near standstill this week. Supplies and offerings becoming increasingly hard to find. Demand is good but most buyers waiting on new crop. Western Oklahoma suffered a series of wildfires that combined were the most severe and destructive in the state's history. Most hay movement this week consisted of donated and purchased hay moving into affected areas. Grass hay trading light to moderate this week. Much needed rainfall is forecast for the weekend. Over 35 percent of the state is rated in extreme to exceptional drought. More than 92 percent of the state's wheat crop is in fair to very poor condition. 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.
