Ontario Hay Listings Helps Farmers Find Hay and Straw

With the drought plaguing Ontario pasture fields, hay and straw are in high demand. Livestock producers are struggling with pastures falling to the way side and in some cases already having to feed hay to their livestock to get by. Many farmers are looking to get their hands on some hay or straw and it’s often hard to track down buyers and sellers.

Now farmers don’t have to look too far – Ontario Hay Listings is an online website that helps to bridge the gap between buyers and sellers looking to buy or sell hay and straw. The free online service was created by the Ontario Forage Council to provide livestock producers with information on forage availability. The site is easily accessible for producers and has been designed to accommodate those who are on dial-up or high-speed internet. It’s a great tool that allows those interested to post on the website themselves.

It’s no surprise that the website has more traffic compared to previous years and Ray Robertson spokesperson for Ontario Hay Listings says the service has more listings this year than it’s had in previous years.
