We didn’t just get into the Hay Cube business yesterday. We’ve been working at this for almost 22 years now and are the largest distributer of Hay Cubes on the Central Coast. We have loads of hay cubes arriving at our warehouses throughout the week, every week, to insure our customers a steady supply.
Now a word about the much talked about BENTONITE.
Bentonite is a clay that is used commercially in well drilling mud and as a sealing agent for landfills and reservoirs. In the livestock feed business, Bentonite is most commonly used as a binder when manufacturing feed grade pellets. It is also used in some hay cubing operations to bind the cubes together. We have found that when Hay Cubes are manufactured with Bentonite, a harder, less palatable Hay Cube is produced. We know from experience because when we first entered the Hay Cube business, our manufacturing partner used Bentonite in their Hay Cubes. When we switched to our, now long-time current partner, Harlan Feed, the results were immediate, and our phone was ringing off the hook. It was our customers, raving about the improvement to the Hay Cubes. They were softer, more palatable for the horses and in our opinion, more digestible. Long story short, Pioneer Ag and Harlan Hay Cubes contain ABSOLUTELY NO BENTONITE.
If it’s minerals or micro ingredients you're looking for, ask your veterinarian and he or she will direct you to a balanced supplement product.
All of us at PIONEER AG are here to serve your HAY CUBE needs with distribution points for pick up in both Paso Robles and Santa Ynez, and deliveries serving the entire Central Coast from Santa Barbara to Carmel Valley.
Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have.
