Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay trade movement has increased over the week, mostly cow
hay and small squares.  Wheat hay across the state is and or has been
harvested. However as of now no true price has been established.  More
summertime temperatures and no rain is 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 continues to move
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 email OklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.
