JACKSONVILLE —
Attention all hay producers: Now is the time to have your hay tested at the Annual Hay Show and Sale on Oct. 21 at the Cherokee County Exposition Center in Jacksonville.
The Hay Show is a great and easy way to get your hay tested for free.
If you would like to have your hay tested, simply enter either a square bale or a large trash bag full of hay in our annual Hay Show and Sale.
There is not a charge for the testing, however hay must be produced within the county to be eligible for testing.
There are several advantages to test hay because quality of hay can vary greatly and in order for producers to properly feed or supplement hay they need to have it tested.
Testing results will be given during the Annual Hay Show & Sale.
A BBQ dinner will begin at 6 p.m. and with the auction starting at 7 p.m.
The Grand Champion and Reserve Champion hay along with the blue ribbon hay will be auctioned during this event.
All proceeds from the auction go to scholarship funds for our local youth.
The deadline for entering hay samples is Sept. 17.
Hay entry drop off locations are at the Extension Office in Rusk, Alto Feed in Alto, Farm and Ranch Feed in Jacksonville, Southland Feed in Jacksonville, Steele’s Feed and Seed in Troup, County Line Feed in Henderson and Tri County Sale Barn in New Summerfield.
For more information contact Aaron Low at 903- 683-5416 or the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce at 903-586-2217.
