Interesting predictions for 2024 Hay Season-with this information please refrain from feeding extra hay, you are more than welcome to turn out on grass while at the farm if you are wanting more snack time for your horse :)
The USDA is projecting lower hay harvested area in 2024. That's due to a decline in planted area caused by the ongoing drier than normal conditions in several states. The harvested area estimate for all types of hay is 51.562 million acres, 2% less than 2023, but still considerably more than 2022.
