Michigan Hay Sellers List Gives Quick Access To Supplies

High-quality alfalfa will be in short supply this year, making it more important than ever that buyers know about the online Michigan Hay Sellers List, according to Michigan State University (MSU) Extension.

More than $1 million of hay is listed for sale on the state website each year, an Extension press release states. Those seeking to buy hay can go to the list and search for a specific hay type – alfalfa, mixed hay, horse-quality timothy or birdsfoot trefoil. They can simultaneously search from among bale types and select specific cuttings. The search will generate a list of producers with those specific forage parameters for sale, the location of the hay and asking prices.

The service is free; each listing is posted for only four months to keep postings current.

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
