Sometimes finding hay to feed your animals is not so cut and dried.
For the search, the 2023 Colorado Hay Directory is here for livestock owners looking for alfalfa, grass, mix, or other hay products.
Organized by region, the Hay Directory listings include the type and amount of hay available, bale type and size, whether laboratory analysis is available, certified weed-free status, and organic hay certification.
“The annual Hay Directory can save time for producers looking to find hay products in their part of Colorado,” said Danielle Trotta, senior marketing specialist for the Colorado Department of Agriculture. “The Directory is a great way to help connect producers with growers; this helps build out valuable connections to grow a stronger agricultural community.”
The 36th edition of the Colorado Hay Directory features producers and brokers of hay as well as companies that provide hay-related products and services. The Directory is published by the Colorado Department of Agriculture in cooperation with participating Colorado hay producers, Colorado State University Extension, and with support from Esh Ranch, KeyAg, Prairie Mountain Media and Tytan International.
The directory and other hay resources are available online at ColoradoProud.org or at ag.colorado.gov/markets. For more information or to request a copy of the Colorado Hay Directory, call the Colorado Department of Agriculture at 303-869-9175 or email Loretta.Lopez@state.co.us.
