Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade slow to mostly moderate. Movement was moderate, most activity 
occurring in western and northwestern counties. Demand was good for all 
offerings. Supplies and offerings remain fairly light although fourth cutting 
alfalfa and second cutting of grass hay are wrapping up. Prices were fully 
steady this week. Wheat planting reached 27 percent completion last week, up 
5 percent from normal and 12 points ahead of last year. Army worms have been 
reported in several areas this week with infestations ranging from mild to 
severe.
