Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay movement limited and prices remain steady to weak for all 
classes.  Hay trade has been light as producers finish up their fourth 
cutting and prepare for a fifth cutting.  Some producers are having to 
work around rain.  Demand remains good for high quality hay, but moderate 
to low for lower quality product.  Weeds are causing issues for many 
producers.  The hay market remains volatile along with the cattle market.

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.
