    I knew AG was big big business, but I did not know it was #1. I’ve been considering importing some alfalfa hay, for a kind of an experiment, and have seen several listings in NY. My wife, on the other hand, had no idea AG was a thing in NY. She knows now, but like many other people when she...

    This little fella was born two weeks ago. His momma is the red baldy in the background.

    I signed up for the site last year, just now getting around to saying hello. I run a small stocker operation and hay business. I jumped in with both feet 2019. Have grown some since then. I love doing what I do, but it’s not always easy. I still have plenty to learn, looking forward to getting...
