USDA Texas Hay 05/01 11:50
AMS_2707
Texas Direct Hay Report
Released on May 01, 2026
Compared to the last report: Hay prices and demand remain steady.
According to the US Drought Monitor, late in the drought-monitoring
period, significant rain overspread portions of the South, resulting in
broad reductions in drought intensity.
Some of the heaviest rain fell from eastern sections of Oklahoma and
Texas into portions of Arkansas, Mississippi, and northern Louisiana.
Still, more rain will be needed to ensure full drought recovery, since
many of the hardest-hit areas had slipped into extreme to exceptional
drought (D3 to D4) in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, western sections of the South-including western Oklahoma and
western Texas-remained critically dry, leading to poor rangeland, pasture,
and winter wheat conditions, as well as a chronically elevated
wildfire threat.
Statewide, winter wheat in Texas was rated 56% very poor to poor on April
26, along with 45% in Oklahoma.
The next available hay report will be May 15, 2026.
