Oklahoma Hay Oklahoma City, OK – July 1 (F-S) Hay being traded is slow to steady in most of the state. The bales that are being traded are either large amounts at once or being contracted. Compared to trading loads at a time throughout the year as needed. As we look at prices still no true market trend for all types of hay. The number of hay bales being produced is less compared to last year’s hay market. Parts of the state are needing moisture again to help with production to try and make up for the shortage along with the drought conditions. According to Oklahoma Mesonet Drought Monitor, our current condition in the western part of Oklahoma is in a moderate to extreme drought yet, Cimarron County is in exceptional drought. From central to eastern Oklahoma is in none to abnormally drought conditions. Central: Alfalfa - Supreme (Trade/Per Ton). Price Range; Freight/Use: Large Square 4x4 215.00 Delivered.
