Hay Probe

The district has a hay probe available for check-out. Having your hay analyzed is the only way to determine the actual nutrient contents of hay in order to balance your livestock's rations. A hay analysis is also a great way for hay growers to market their product.

Use
There is no rental fee for use of the hay probe, but we ask that you leave a $50 refundable deposit
