The Colorado Department of Agriculture is accepting listings for the 2018 Colorado Hay Directory, which connects hay producers with buyers.

“Every year we receive calls from buyers across the country looking for Colorado hay,” Wendy White, marketing specialist for the Colorado Department of Agriculture, said in a news release.

The listing fee is $25, and the deadline is June 15, the news release said. Forms are available at Colorado State University Extension offices or by contacting the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

This free directory will be available in August through CSU Extension offices and various horse and livestock associations in the state as well as at agricultural events such as the Colorado State Fair, National Western Stock Show and the Colorado Farm Show. The directory will also be online at www.coloradoagriculture.com/hay.

Each listing includes the type and amount of hay available, bale type and size, whether or not laboratory analysis is available, certified weed-free status and identifies organic hay. The directory also includes listings for companies that offer hay-related products or services. Advertising opportunities are also available.
