OKLAHOMA HAY MARKET REPORT

Hay movement light to moderate as open weather permits haying to resume. Demand
light to moderate early even though stocks are extremely low.	Very little
Premium or Supreme quality alfalfa available as most meadows very mature. Storm
debris is hampering harvesting in localized areas.	Flood damage also continues
to pose problems for a few producers. Ponds and lakes are generally full
throughout central and eastern Oklahoma. Portions of western Oklahoma remain
under severe drought conditions.	Wheat and canola harvest underway but it's too
early to determine yields in most areas.

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
1-800-580-6543 or email jack.carson@ag.ok.gov.
