Central Oregon Premium Orchardgrass Blend Horse Hay

Snow-capped mountains behind a green field and forest.

Hay Available now!

There is no doubt the drought affected the hay crop this year. The lack of moisture during the winter stressed the grass and didn't promote healthy growth.  Like a lot of growers, our yield was down 40%.  We had to move into rotaion with our water delivery early this year and the water will be cut off August 24.  We hope to be able to do a second cutting with the remaining water.
