Need Hay? NC Extension Offers New Online Hay Listing Service
NC State Extension, with the generous financial support of NC Farm Bureau and NC Cattlemen’s, has launched a new tool for connecting those needing hay with those who have hay to sell. The newly launched website, https://www.nchayfinder.com, allows you to search for hay by your zip code. You can then sort by distance, type of hay, or price. If you have hay for sale, you can create a listing by creating an account. If you have any questions, please contact Sara Drake.
NC State University and N.C. A&T State University work in tandem, along with federal, state and local governments, to form a strategic partnership called N.C. Cooperative Extension.
