Free Hay Sampling for Clay County Farmers: Forage sampling and analysis is the best way to determine the nutritional content and quality of hay. As part of the 2022 East Kentucky Annual Hay Contest, free hay/haylage sampling is available through the Clay County Cooperative Extension. The deadline to request testing is Friday, September 16th. Ration balancing will also be available for beef, equine and goat enterprises at no charge. Information from your hay analysis can reduce feed costs, increase animal performance, and provide information to improve forage stands. If you are interested in submitting hay/haylage samples for testing – either for the contest or just for your own use – please contact us at 606-598-2789 to schedule an appointment for sampling.
