Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade was very light on very light offerings. Demand was good to very 
good. Second and third cutting yields continue to run well below average 
limiting already tight supplies. Most of the state is experiencing triple 
digit temperatures this week. Prices were not fully tested but Premium 
alfalfa was mostly steady, a softer undertone was apparent on Good and Fair 
quality offerings. Grass hay movement was also light with grass hay yields 
well below average statewide. Demand is very good for all grass hay 
offerings.
