Alfalfa and hay movement very limited this week. Few sales trading steady
to weak. Fourth cutting of alfalfa in the works for producers with
concerns of blister beetle issues for horse hay buyers taking hold. Most
dairies limiting hay purchases adding to lack of demand and movement.
Reports of some areas receiving three inches of rain over the week.
Producers in Western and Southwestern side of the state experiencing
drought like conditions.
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.
