Alfalfa and hay trade continues very slow. Very limited sales are
steady. Dairy hay trade is light due to weak milk prices. At the
moment, much of the alfalfa hay would be going to horse outlets and
that would be in limited quantities. Many dairies already have their
needed supplies. Any grass hay that is moving is only fair in quality
because it has weeds or has been rained on a few times. This slow
movement is expected to continue until these folks run out of their
current supply of hay. Winter weather has moved in early and much of the
state is receiving a cold rain or winter precipitation. Early next week,
highs are expected to be in the 30's.
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 1-405-521-3864 or email
OklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.
