Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade was mostly slow this week. Movement was light to moderate. 
Demand light to moderate, slightly improved from recent weeks. A major winter 
storm is expected to move across the state beginning late Friday. Snow and 
ice are in the forecast and this has resulted in some last minute hay 
movement. Demand for good quality grass hay has increased but supplies and 
offerings are limited with a great deal of low quality grass hay on hand. 

Market News continues to maintain an online hay directory for both in-state
and out-of-state hay producers.  The directories are on the ODAFF homepage
at www.oda.state.ok.us. Producers wishing to list hay are encouraged to call
at 1-405-522-3753 or email jack.carson@ag.ok.gov.
