VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1
Welcome to this
year’s issue of the An-nual
Hay Review! I
would like to extend
our thanks to all partici-pants
for their continued
support and cooperation
– especially the produc-ers
who provide data for
the monthly Prices Re-ceived
by Farmers for Hay
and the biennial Hay
Production and Sales sur-veys.
Without their
commitment and par-ticipation,
this report
would not be available.
This publication is a
compilation of related
reports issued by
USDA’s National Agri-cultural
Statistics Ser-vice
(NASS) in an effort
to provide a complete
source of statistics rele-vant
to hay producers.
Though many of the
statistics in this publica-tion
can be accessed
through our website:
(www.nass.usda.gov/
Publications), this Okla-homa
Field Office sum-mary
will be issued an-nually.
Please feel free to con-tact
our office with any
comments or questions
you may have. I hope
you find this informa-tion
useful!
