Busy June Ahead!

Several storms rolled through various parts of the state over the weekend and on Memorial Day.  Some areas reported damaging winds, hail and heavy rains.  There are still areas of the State that have yet to receive measurable rains and are very dry.

It’s hard to believe that June is here this week.  Exhibitor contracts for the 2019 Mid-America Forage Expo that will be held at Adams County Fairgrounds in Hastings, Nebraska on January 15 & 16 will be sent out in the next couple of weeks and we hope exhibit spaces will fill up quickly.  The speakers program should be finalized and announced on the alfalfaexpo.com in the near future.

On June 19th and 20th we will be participating in the Sandhills Ranch Expo being held in Bassett, Nebraksa.  Then on June 25th through the 27th we will be attending the National Forage Alliance summer board meeting in Olathe, Kansas. 

Whether you are looking to buy hay or are looking for markets to sell hay, the Independent Forage Growers can help you.  Membership in the Association is open to all forage producers.  The goal of the Association is to gain access for you to customers that you might otherwise not have access to on your own.  We have a national advertising campaign that directs potential customers to our inventory listing system, where as a member, you have the opportunity to list your personal inventories; you can be involved with any of the trade shows the Association attends, and we will gladly share information with you regarding trucking, receiving payment or in any other areas you may need assistance.
