UMaine Extension advises taking hay inventory
University of Maine Cooperative Extension advises farmers to take inventory of livestock feed and forage resources before winter. Variable weather conditions this past year have created some shortages in parts of the state.
UMaine Extension maintains an online hay directory with listings of hay and silage for sale. Extension resources on estimating feed requirements and testing forage quality also are available on the website.
Growers with hay available can list with the directory online or by calling the Waldo County Extension office at 342.5971, 800.287.1426. For more information contact Richard Kersbergen at 342.5971, richard.kersbergen@maine.edu.
