Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade moderate early but turned very slow late as widespread rains 
moved across the state halting field work and limiting movement. Demand was 
good for all alfalfa offerings. Prices steady to firm. Fourth cutting alfalfa 
is progressing much more rapidly than last year but yields are being reported 
as average to below average. Grass hay harvest progressed ahead of normal 
over the past two weeks.
