Hay Hotline

Hay Hotline - (502) 564-4983
Agriculture Commissioner James Comer reminds Kentucky livestock producers that the Kentucky Department of Agriculture can help them find badly needed forages for their animals as many Kentucky pastures and hay fields have dried up in this year's drought.
"Kentucky farmers feel frustrated and helpless because of this summer's hot, dry weather," Commissioner Comer said. "Many of our livestock producers are having to feed hay and other forages that normally would be set aside for winter. The department's forage sales directory and hay hotline can help them find the forages their animals need."
If you are in need of hay, please browse the Tested Hay/Forage Sales Directory, this hay has been tested by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. There you can search by bale, county, or type of hay. The Department of Agriculture strongly promotes and supports its Kentucky Forage Producers
The Hay Hotline is currently active.
