OKLAHOMA HAY MARKET REPORT
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK Thu Jan 16, 2020 Oklahoma Dept. of Ag Market News

Alfalfa and hay trade movement was light to moderate this week.  Demand 
remains good as a much more winter weather has finally arrived, leaving
sellers with much needed hope of increase in hay movement. A 
steady undertone was noted on very limited to light comparable trades.  
All hay reported FOB Oklahoma unless otherwise noted.

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.
