Hay Barn Offers Free ListingsVANCOUVER - Nov 17/05 - SNS -- The Hay Barn web site (http://www.haybarn.com) is allowing ranchers in the southern United States and the Gulf coast region to place hay-wanted classified advertisements on their website free of charge. Unusually dry conditions in south and east Texas this summer have reduced the number of hay cuttings, further limiting the hay supply to hurricane-damaged states. According to the USDA's Drought Monitor, moderate drought conditions extend from Texas through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Hay shortages extend as far as Missouri, where state officials are waiving permitting fees through December 31, for hauling hay within the state. "Hay is in short supply, and quality hay is going at premium rates this fall," says Leslie Neal, owner of the Hay Barn web site. "We're looking to help broaden the source region for Gulf Coast producers, bringing in hay from further out. Increasing supply in tight areas will help keep prices down."
