About Us

We started in the hay business in 1988. In 1993, our hay crop was wiped out to winterkill and excessive rains. We stayed out of the hay business for 5 years, and were back into it as a hobby and to supply a local dairy farmer. After 3 years of raising pure alfalfa, we started to test the horse customers' needs. From there the business has taken off. Our only crop now is the orchard / alfalfa and pure alfalfa.

     Everyone can raise spoiled or junk hay, but it takes a lot of time and patience to put up quality hay. We do not sell hay to you as a one-time customer, because our goal is to be your hay supplier.

     We cut our first crop on May 25 with weather permitting and then every 30 days after that. By cutting at these times, we try to eliminate the alfalfa from getting course and loosing its feed value.

     We use a John Deere 956 disc mower with a crimper to help speed up the drying process. On the 3rd day, the hay is flipped with a wheel rake or inverter. With a lot of sunshine, low humidity and wind, we start baling around 3:00 in the afternoon. Baling will continue until the field is done or the humidity makes the hay too tough (picks up air moisture) to bale. All hay is picked up and delivered to the storage shed yet that night to prevent any chance of rain damage.

     We are located in South West Minnesota between Hadley and Slayton on US Hwy 30. Our hay shed is located on the west side of Slayton. The building is large enough to load and unload inside in any weather conditions.
