Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay trade movement remains slow but is beginning to move.  
few early prices are reportedly lower but producers are reporting that
finding a true value is difficult.  Most everyone has their first cutting
of Alfalfa done.  Dairy hay is extremely slow as cutbacks are taking
place in that industry as well.  With warmer weather, Bermuda grass is
just starting to show and producers expecting a first cutting of that hay
come June but has most very uneasy about the late start.  Some areas of
the state are reportedly dry once again but rains storms are expected to
move thru the trade areas over the end of the week and weekend. 

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 emailOklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.
