W elcome to
the 2012 issue
of the Annual Hay Review! I
would like to extend our
thanks to all participants for
their continued support and
cooperation – especially the
producers who provide data
for the monthly Prices Received
by Farmers for Hay and the bi-ennial
Hay Production and Sales
surveys. Without their com-mitment
and participation,
this report would not be avail-able.
Though many of the statistics
in this publication can be
accessed through our website,
www.nass.usda.gov/
Publications, this Oklahoma
Field Office summary will be
issued annually.
Please feel free to contact our
office with any comments or
questions you may have. I
hope you find this information
useful!
