About our Hay operation
Hay production has always been our primary product. We grow for the export and domestic markets. Export timothy is labor intensive and weather dependent. We work with the hay processors to constantly monitor and improve our practices for the end market.
Our haying operation is split between export timothy and mixed hay. Through our hay processors our product has been sold worldwide. Our domestic market has stayed strong and we have an extensive horse clientele. We have been a part of this industry for 23 years. This industry has grown and evolved, but one thing has never changed - the demand for a dry, quality product. Despite unpredictable weather patterns our goal is to put up the best product we can. We feel that a huge key to our success is dry hay and storage.
Hay sheds are an integral part of our operation. Every bale is shedded on two layers of black plastic. At present we have room for 45,000 bales. Custom haying has always been part of our operation. However, as our own acres have increased, we do a select number of acres for export clients. Svend has provided information and guidance for many new growers.
After a very wet year and late start, we now have product in our sheds. The 2008 season is still underway and the hay crop is abundant. Please call early to secure your supply. Last year, we were sold out of product in November.
