Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade mostly light to moderate. Demand was fairly good with a great 
deal of inquiry but few trades reported. Alfalfa prices mostly steady, up to 
10.00 higher in central Oklahoma. Many parts of the state received much 
needed rain this week but amounts were not enough to lessen drought concerns. 
Third cutting alfalfa is close to completion. Much of central Oklahoma is 
expected to begin fourth cutting soon. Grass hay baling was very active this 
week in central and eastern counties. Grass hay trading was mostly moderate 
and most sales were local.
