Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay trade movement has slowed down quite a bit over the week,
mostly cow hay and small squares are moving still.  Wheat hay across the
state is and or has been harvested. However as of now no true price has
been established.  Cooler than average summer like temperatures and
several inches of rain has fell across the trade area over the week. 
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 emailOklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.
