Numerous factors have effected this year's hay market (2011). The unstable weather conditions during spring and summer took a toll on production, with these factors persisting into the harvesting season. Despite these difficult conditions, our growers are focusing on producing a consistent high quality harvest.
The dairy sector's strong interest in obtaining high quality hay as a substitute for cow feed, in order to lower escalating production costs, has also been a new factor in the market, causing supplies to be in greater demand than ever.
Quality Hay Sales maintains a personal relationship with our Western hay growers, in order to assure that we deliver consistent and the highest quality mountain hay in the country. Mountain hay is known to have a high Registered Food Value, and farm owners in Marion, Levy and Alachua county have relied on Quality Hay Sales for years.
