Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Once again the hay trade continues very slow across much of the state.  
On a good note though we have almost gone a week without rain.  This 
has provided the opportunity for farmers to get out and cut, swath and
finally bale hay.  Prices were not fully established this week.  
Surprisingly, demand is extremely light.  Recent rains and now warm
weather has made for lush pastures.  Hay buyers are willing to enjoy the
green grass and wait for later to assess needs for hay.  Also speculating 
hay prices could come down later in the season if the crop improves.

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 1-405-232-5425 or email 
OklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.
