Annual publication looking for Colorado hay producersColorado The Colorado Department of Agriculture is accepting listings for the 2008 Colorado Hay Directory. This annual publication helps market Colorado hay to buyers in the state and around the country. "We receive calls from buyers across the country looking for Colorado hay," said Wendy White, marketing specialist for the Colorado Department of Agriculture. "This directory is a great tool to market one of the state's top crops." The listing fee is $25 per submission, and the deadline is June 15. Forms are available at Colorado State University Extension offices or by contacting the Colorado Department of Agriculture. This free directory will be available in August at CSU Extension offices and various livestock associations in the state as well as at agricultural events such as the Colorado State Fair, National Western Stock Show and the Colorado Farm Show. The directory will also be online at www.coloradoagriculture.com and www.coloradohay.org. As an additional benefit to listees, information will be included in the Beef Business Directory, published by the AgJournal. Since the Colorado Hay Directory was first published in 1987, it continues to be an important marketing tool for Colorado hay producers. Each listing includes the type and amount of hay available, bale type and size, whether or not laboratory analysis is available, certified weed free status and identifies organic hay. Listings are grouped by region of the state. The directory also includes listings for companies that offer hay-related products or services. Advertising is also available at $50 for a half-page ad or $90 for a full-page ad. Members of the Colorado Hay and Forage Association receive their listing for free as a benefit of membership.
