Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa trade at a standstill as rain and spring storms are holding up first
cutting. Demand for first cutting appears good but prices remain untested. A
small amount of alfalfa has been cut and most of this received rain damage. 
Widespread rains and flooding are also curtailing wheat hay baling. Demand for
wheat hay is very good. 

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.
