Our goal in making this list is to provide Southern Ohio clientele with a list of producers who make and sell hay.” Who sells hay?” is a question frequently asked, especially during the winter season. If you are a hay producer and would like to be on the list, please use the QR code or this link to register your information. Of course, we are open to all areas of the state and region, but we are focusing our resources.
