Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade mostly slow as first cutting was delayed in central Oklahoma by 
scattered rains and thunderstorms. Demand was very good for the limited 
offerings. Yields are well below average but quality was good overall. Wheat 
hay offerings also light but movement was fairly good in central and western 
counties. Other offerings of grass hay are very limited. Demand good for all 
grass hay offerings.
