Quality Tested Hay Auction - Sauk Centre, MN - January 22, 2009

Quality Tested Hay Auction - January 8, 2009

Dan Martens, Extension Technical Advisor, U of M Extension, marte011@umn.edu
The “Quality Tested” Hay Action at Sauk Centre, Minnesota was started by the Central Minnesota Forage Council with assistance from the University of Minnesota to promote quality testing in the marketplace and to create a marketplace for buyers and sellers of hay. The auction has since been turned over to a privately owned company, the Mid American Auction Company.
