Find Hay in Annual Directory
LAKEWOOD, Colo. –The Colorado Department of
Agriculture publishes the Colorado Hay
Directory annually to help connect hay producers with buyers. The 2012 edition of the directory is
available to the public at no cost.
“Demand
for hay is especially strong this year with drought conditions nationwide,”
said Wendy White, marketing specialist for the Colorado Department of
Agriculture. “The directory is a great way for producers to market their hay
and it is an important resource for buyers across Colorado and the nation.”
The 26th
edition of the Colorado Hay Directory features producers and brokers of hay as
well as companies that provide hay-related products and services. Categorized
by region, each listing includes the type and amount of hay available, bale type and
size, whether or not laboratory analysis is available, certified weed free
status and identifies organic hay.
The Colorado Hay Directory is published by the
Colorado Department of Agriculture in cooperation with participating Colorado
hay producers, Colorado State University Extension, and with support from Ag
Biz Solutions, LLC, Colorado Hay Service, Green Colorado, Hutchison Incorporated,
ProAG-Morris Industries Inc. and Scimetrics Ltd. Inc.
The directory and other hay resources are available
online at www.coloradoagriculture.com.
For more information or to request a copy of the 2012 Colorado Hay Directory, call the Colorado Department of Agriculture
