Hay Resource through Farm Service Agency

Jul 11, 2014

I copied this article from our Fresno County Farm Bureau newsletter. I wasn't aware of this resource and thought I'd share.

For many years, Farm Service Agency's (FSA) Hay Net website, www.fsa.usda.gov/haynet, has been the "go to" online resource for agricultural producers to list information concerning the need for hay or the availability of hay.

Now, in response to requests from livestock producers and landowners, FSA has expanded the site to include the option to list a need for grazing acres or to list acres available for grazing.

If, due to extenuating circumstances, producers are in need of hay and/or grazing acres to support livestock, please use Hay Net to post an advertisement seeking these resources. Likewise, landowners who have hay and/or grazing acres available for livestock producers should post a Hay Net advertisement as well.

Hay Net is an FSA public service. The sole purpose of this online resource is to provide a site for the exchange of information. FSA does not endorse, guarantee, or otherwise make representations of any kind regarding any user of this site and FSA is not responsible for defining the terms of grazing agreements or lease contracts.

For more information about Hay Net and other FSA services and programs, contact the local FSA office at 559-276-7494.
