Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade light to moderate on mostly light offerings. Demand was good to 
very good. Second cutting is wrapping up and third cutting progressed well 
this week. Yields are well below average and producers question whether they 
will get a fourth cutting without more rain. Temperatures remained mostly in 
triple digits this week and only a few scattered showers reported. Over 30 
percent of the state is now classified in severe to exceptional drought, up 3 
percent from the previous week. Prices were only lightly tested but prices 
were firm to moderately higher in the limited trade. Grass hay movement was 
also light to moderate. Demand is very good from both in-state and out-of-
state buyers.
