Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade mostly moderate. Demand was fairly good, inquiry remains very 
high but sales remain moderate. Most sales over the past few weeks have moved 
locally, very little out-of-state trading confirmed. Prices mostly steady in 
the limited test. Rain and cooler weather moved across the state this week 
bringing some relief to drought conditions. More rain is forecast for the 
coming week. Rains halted haying but growers are hoping the rainfall will 
provide a fourth cutting.
