Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade moderate to fairly active. Movement mostly moderate. Demand was 
good for all alfalfa, especially good for dry cow and bunk hay. Prices steady 
to 10.00 higher. Wheat planting is underway and open weather is allowing many 
to finish fourth cutting alfalfa. A small amount of fifth cutting will begin 
within the next two weeks. Fourth cutting yields continue slightly below 
average.
