Hay Listing Service Available for Oklahoma Producers
Wed, 23 Mar 2011 7:29:14 CDT
Dry weather and grass fires have placed some livestock producers at risk of running out of forage for their animals. State agriculture officials are urging anyone with hay to sell to have their hay listed in an online directory to assist stockmen in locating supplies..
"Less than half of our 77 counties have listings and some of the ones we have only have a few," said Johnny Roberts, Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Market Development Coordinator. "The blizzard and snow storms we experienced this winter caused a spike in hay feeding and now the dry weather is preventing growth in most parts of the state."
Anyone with hay for sale is encouraged to contact the ODAFF for a free listing.
You can call the Hay Hotline to list hay available for hay or to get information about hay for sale. That number is 1-800-580-6543.
Click here for the in-state hay listing on a county by county basis. I would suggest coming back and checking this listing as they had a large number of listing requests submitted on Tuesday the 22nd and will be updating the PDF file soon.
There is also an "out of state" directory of hay available for sale as well that the ODAFF has compiled- click here for that directory.
