Oklahoma hay production
Oklahoma's hay crop is dominated by grass hay, particularly bermudagrass in central and eastern areas, with native grass hay and smaller volumes of alfalfa also important. Most production is dryland, although irrigated alfalfa is grown mainly in western Oklahoma and the Panhandle. Grass hay is generally cut from late spring through summer, often with multiple cuttings when moisture permits, while alfalfa can provide several cuttings during the growing season. The market is primarily regional and livestock-oriented, with supplies moving within the state and across nearby Plains and Southern states as weather and forage conditions vary.
