Michigan Hay Sellers List Gives Quick Access To Supplies

High-quality alfalfa will be in short supply this year, making it more important than ever that buyers know about the online Michigan Hay Sellers List, according to Michigan State University (MSU) Extension.

More than $1 million of hay is listed for sale on the state website each year, an Extension press release states. Those seeking to buy hay can go to the list and search for a specific hay type – alfalfa, mixed hay, horse-quality timothy or birdsfoot trefoil. They can simultaneously search from among bale types and select specific cuttings. The search will generate a list of producers with those specific forage parameters for sale, the location of the hay and asking prices.

The service is free; each listing is posted for only four months to keep postings current.

Exploring the AgriSuite Greenhouse Gas Decision Support Tool

Video: Exploring the AgriSuite Greenhouse Gas Decision Support Tool

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) has developed a free online feature for farmers to help them measure their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on-farm and explore options for reducing their carbon footprint.

In this webinar, you'll hear from James Dyck, an OMAFRA engineer who helped design and build the tool now available on AgriSuite. Anyone interested can use the tool to input custom details about their farm operation at https://agrisuite.omafra.gov.on.ca/ and by selecting the Greenhouse Gas option.

You'll also benefit from a step-by-step walk-through of the tool from Norm Lamothe, a farmer outside Peterborough who has used the tool to make decisions on his own farm and assess the impact of different mitigation practices.
