Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay trade movement limited as many producers are over stocked
especially with a very large second cutting of Alfalfa and wheat hay is
overwhelmed and no price has yet to be established.  More summertime
temperatures are in the forecasted for the next several days and grass
hay is expected to grow at a rapid pace.  Producers are reporting that
finding a true value is difficult for new crop as many are cleaning out
their barns from last season.  

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.
