Hay Farming
Hay farms grow, cut, bale, store and sell alfalfa, grass and mixed hay to livestock operators, horse farms and feed stores. The operation follows a seasonal cycle of soil prep, planting or stand maintenance, multiple cuttings per year, field drying, baling, storage and delivery. Specialists turn weather and growth data into cutting schedules, turn field counts into bale inventories, convert orders into loading and delivery plans, and keep equipment, fertilizer and seed records current. The grower makes final calls on when to cut, bale quality and pricing.
