Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade mostly moderate this week with haying delayed in some areas by 
much needed but light rainfall. Demand was very good for all alfalfa 
offerings. Alfalfa harvest progress is well behind average and some over-
mature hay was offered this week. More wheat hay also offered this week to 
very good demand. Quality of wheat hay offerings have varied from poor to 
very good.
