KO_GR310 OKLAHOMA HAY MARKET REPORT OKLAHOMA CITY, OK Thu Jun 20, 2019 Oklahoma Dept. of Ag Market News Hay trade continues slow to moderate across the state. Some of the areas have seen some dry days to cut hay but because rains continue to fall, farmers are having to bale before it is truly dry. Moisture content in Alfalfa is pretty high thus it can't be held for a very long time before it is turning black. Much of the hay being cut is only considered choice stock cow hay and this due to all of the rain. Dairy hay, at this moment is non-existent. 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 1-405-232-5425 or email OklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov. Alfalfa Central Oklahoma: No trades reported. Eastern Oklahoma: No trades reported.
