Alfalfa and hay trade continues extremely slow but prices remain steady.
Due to the very wet spring and early summer, many producers didn't get
that high quality first cutting of hay. Demand is very good for this hay
but supplies are just not there. Demand is limited for any hay that is
less than good quality. Farmers are now busy spraying for weeds and bugs
and having to work around rain.
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.
