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.  More summertime temperatures and no rain are in the forecast and many producers are expecting prices to get higher if rain doesn’t come soon.  Producers are reporting that finding a true value is difficult for new crop as many continue to clean out their barns from last season and those prices continue to fall.  Small square bales of grass hay is reportedly moving at a rapid pace.  

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.
