Compared to the last report: The demand and trade remain low. We have had several storms across Oklahoma which have slowed down some hay trade as well as hay baling. Old-crop hay continues to move lower in price as we enter the new hay season. We still have barns full of old-crop hay that are trying to be sold and emptied for new-crop hay.
