Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Hay trade has slowed down across much of the state.  Cooler than
Average weather has swept across the trade area bringing much wanted
relief from last week’s triple digits temps.  Prices were mostly steady,
movement has slowed down.  Heavy supply of alfalfa suitable for feed
yards is readily available causing a lower demand from buyers. 
Surprisingly, demand is extremely light.  High temperatures have made for
lush pastures, however moisture is needed.  

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
