OKLAHOMA HAY MARKET REPORT
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK Thu Nov 21, 2019 Oklahoma Dept. of Ag Market News

Alfalfa and hay trade movement and demand remain very limited but picking 
up from the last few weeks.  Few trades were steady from last week.  
Weather has been much more comfortable this week with reports of rainfall 
in some areas limiting movement somewhat. Firm cattle prices mixed with 
full hay inventories adding to lack of demand.

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.
