Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade moderate to active. Demand very good early, moderate to good 
late. Movement was mostly moderate. First cutting continues to progress and 
both quality and yields have varied greatly. Overall quality has been mostly 
good. Western and northern Oklahoma received much needed rain late this week 
that delayed haying but will benefit new growth. More wheat hay offered this 
week and grass hay harvest has begun in southern counties.
