The picture isn’t very clear but this year’s Iron Man Loading Team is the top of the line. Not many young men these days can work in 95 degree heat and load 250 bales of hay per hour. What a blessing! Yes our country does still have young men willing to do grunt work. Plus they make it look easy!
Pictured from left: Cade Kennedy; Aiden Smith; Cody Bethea; Preston Smith and Robert Schlumbrecht. Missing today is Sam Peters and Braden Babiowski.

This load is the last for the second cutting this year. Now we’ll re-focus back to w**d and insect control so we can produce a final cutting in September/October.
Check our page, we will keep you updated.

08/04/2024

We dodged a bullet yesterday with all the rain in the area. We’ll be finishing the second cutting later this week. Text Heather 601 795-7551 to claim your spot while we still have some available. Wait for the fall cutting at your own risk. We are completely linked to the weather and drought this month may prevent a fall cutting.

07/18/2024

We have a lot of hay to bale but this is not the forecast we need. As soon as we have a favorable forecast we’ll be running wide open. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

06/20/2024

This field of Alicia is looking really good at the moment. Weeds are hard to find in this field right now. If the weather continues to be favorable we’ll be baling again in 2-3 weeks. The last cutting sold out pretty quick. Text Heather at 601-795-7551 to get on the list for the next cutting coming up soon.

05/23/2024

Today we kicked off the 2024 hay season at Pearl River Hay Farm. We always begin with a small amount of hay in the event we have an equipment problem after sitting up all winter. Today went off without a problem so it’s full speed ahead. The hay quality is awesome and since we have nearly perfect weather we’re running wide open to complete the entire first cutting this weekend. Sunday May 26 will be the last hay until late June or July. If you have other plans for this weekend you may want to change them if you want some super premium quality hay. Call or preferably text Heather at 601-795-7551 to get on the list for this weekend. You must directly call or text Heather if you haven’t already. Facebook messages are too easy to get confused as we do not get a phone number with Facebook.
As of this post we have only a few hundred bales for the weekend still available. Don’t wait. Remember last year!

05/21/2024

This is some of the finest hay that we have ever produced. If the weather forecast holds we’ll be running wide open thru the week and weekend to bale as much as possible. It’s not often that we hit the trifecta of good yield, fabulous quality, and great weather simultaneously. We’ve got the first two; now it’s up to God in heaven to continue the excellent weather.
If you want some of this “Candy Hay” call or preferably text Heather at 601-795-7551. You won’t be disappointed and your horses will be thrilled!

04/24/2024

Looking good for Hay in May!
This field of Alicia is really coming along very well. A good rain and about 3 weeks should do the job.
We hope to see y’all soon.

04/13/2024

One of the best reasons to get out early. Spraying w**ds at sunrise.

04/04/2024

It’s been a long time since our hayfields have looked this good. We’re still hoping to bale hay late in May.

02/24/2024

2024 crop hay on the way!!

We haven’t made a post in quite a while but we have certainly been busy preparing for this year’s hay crop. We are still about 3 months away from baling and are very busy controlling w**ds. This 007 field is breaking out of dormancy very well.
Let’s hope for more favorable weather this season than last.
We’d certainly like to see y’all soon!

11/05/2023

Today we waved bye to the 2023 hay season at Pearl River Hay Farm! It was definitely a challenging year suffering through the unusual drought and we are very sorry that there was no way for us to completely fill all of our customers requests. Please understand that our production for the year was only about half of a normal year but we are thankful to God that we got HALF instead of NONE. The silver lining surrounding this dark cloud year is that we only got a few bales rained on. Not hard to believe since we’ve had such little rain. The other good thing is that we probably produced the best quality hay this year that we ever had since we pretty much had good hay baling weather the entire year. Whenever the hay finally had enough growth to harvest we had good weather to bale it.

We truly appreciate all of our Pearl River Hay Farm customers. You are what makes this operation possible. We can honestly say that all of you are such a pleasure to do business with and that we certainly enjoy getting to interact with each of you. We wish that we had more time to visit with y’all on Hay Day but as you all can see we stay quite busy trying to make things flow as efficiently as possible. Thank you all once again for your patience and understanding.

I cannot end this post without giving a Big Shout Out to our daughter Heather. She really does a fantastic job booking and scheduling the hay crop and loading operations. Thank you so much Heather!

Please consider getting your hay from us again next year!

Thank you all again. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and may God Bless all of us with a great New Year.

From all of us at the Pearl River Hay Farm Family.

Today we baled the first of 4 fields for the final cutting of 2023. As we were expecting, yields are dismal and the quality seems to be quite good. Since our yield in this first field was only about 30% of normal due to the drought, It is now painfully obvious that there will be no way for us to satisfy the expectations of all of our customers this final cutting. Tomorrow Heather and myself will prepare an allocation for everyone on the list. Regretfully no one will be offered their full requested amount and likely we won’t be able to even reach many customers on our list.

We would like to bale hay this weekend but there is a slight possibility of rain Thursday night and we simply cannot gamble loosing any. Looks like next Tuesday or Wednesday will be the next baling. We intend to notify everyone that we project will not be reached by Friday and also advise those that we can serve how many you can get. Please understand that the drought has required this limit and that this allocation is not personal and certainly beyond our control and desire. Priority will be given to our customers that have been with us the longest time.

We certainly apologize for our short fall but realize that our income is being severely impacted as well. Trust me. We feel your pain.

07/19/2023

Thank you Lauren Hakin for this wonderful compliment today! This made our day.

"Y'all have me for life! My animals all look so amazing on your hay! Beautiful, shiny coats and excellent weight maintenance. They prefer your hay over alfalfa! That's really saying something!"

07/02/2023

Thank you to everyone who posted the very nice comments about the Iron Men and our farm. We are truly blessed with such an awesome crew of young men who tackle such a demanding job and actually make it look easy. Even better for us is that we have several other young men that were not here yesterday that are just as tough and yet polite. Not every Iron Man can make it here every time, but luckily, enough of them always seem to show up to get the job done and done well. I cannot go any further without also recognizing these guys parents. Obviously their parents have instilled a great work ethic in them at a young age that these guys know that the only way to success is by hard work. They aren’t afraid to sweat, a lot!

Yesterday we concluded the first cutting of hay for 2023. We’ll not be baling again for a couple of weeks or so. While the baling crew will get a rest, there is still a lot to be done every day to get ready for next time.

From all of the Pearl River Hay Farm family, we hope to see all of you again soon!

07/02/2023

Today’s Hero’s: if you happened to be at the Pearl River Hay Farm today you got to see these 3 Iron Men in action. Its hard to believe that they loaded 14 trailers in just under 4 hours. Watching these young MEN work in 99 degree heat with only 1 five minute break helps me to believe that our country may still have a future. It’s a great feeling to know that there are still a few young men that CAN and WILL work for a living. These guys are not illegal immigrate workers but 3 young guys from south Mississippi that are tough as nails. Thanks to Sam Peters, Preston Smith , and Robert Schlumbrecht . These are true Iron Men!

Thanks to all of our great customers who came out in the oppressive heat to get hay today. We certainly hope that your horses will appreciate you fighting the heat to get their hay. Thank you again from the entire family. Without you there would not be a Pearl River Hay Farm.

Just a quick update : Heather sent out a text message a couple of days ago to everyone that is on our list so far this season. This is anyone who has personally contacted her this year. If she contacted you, rest assured you are on the list! If you did not hear from her, we do not currently have you on our list for this hay season. Please call/text her at 601-795-7551 to be put on the list. Demand is high and so far yields have been low this year so please don’t wait to get on the list!

Thankful that we were blessed with no rain and were able to have another sold out cutting of hay!

We want to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all of our customers! What better way to spend Father’s Day than in the hay field!

We are still working down the list of all of the customers who have already contacted us. Don’t be alarmed if you haven’t been contacted yet. We will get to you! As soon as weather permits, we will be cutting hay again. Hopefully next weekend if weather permits.

06/12/2023

Many thanks to everyone who came yesterday to officially kick off the 2023 season at Pearl River Hay Farm. Special thanks to Shannon Rojas for sharing this picture of her very happy horse enjoying his first bale of the Year. We really appreciate all of our customers that tolerate the weather challenges that are always part of baling hay this time of the year.

I cannot go any further without giving the greatest thank you of all to Almighty God who blessed us by 3 times steering very nearby thunderstorms away from this field of hay. Then when all the hay was safely under shelter he blessed us again with ¾ inch of much needed rain. God is truly Great!

If you weren’t contacted to get hay yesterday and want some don’t be alarmed. We still have 3 more fields to bale for this cutting. Then hopefully we will get 2 more cuttings after that. We will be baling again just as soon as we have a favorable weather forecast, which has been hard to come by this season so far. If you are out of hay please text Heather at 601 795-7551 and we’ll try to contact you next. The second and third cutting will probably be in August and October.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

05/17/2023

We’ll the grass is finally starting to grow fairly well now. Those delightfully cool nights of the past few weeks although quite pleasant wasn’t good for getting the grass into high gear. This field has been getting a lot of my attention and it shows.
As it stands now hay baling will probably begin sometime in June.
If you haven’t already contacted Heather shoot her a text (601) 795-7551 so she can get you on the call list. The first cutting normally produces a low yield so we want to see who needs what until the heavy yields of summer come in.
See you soon!

03/11/2023

The hay fields are really looking good for early March. Hopefully sometime in May we’ll see some green tractors and your truck in these fields loading up hay!

03/08/2023

We love to receive feedback from new and old customers! Thank you Carrie for this review!

“We bought from y’all last year for the 1st time.
If you recall y’all had to cut late due to all the rain. I was really worried b/c of resp issues with 1 horse & another very elderly mare if they were going to have problems with the long grass, so I found 10 more Coastal Bermuda bales elsewhere with shorter grass (if that makes sense). We always wet our hay before feeding & the horses will put their head over the stall door and have to smell it then take 1 bite before granting us entrance. Well I’m here to tell you, when I’ve tried to sneak in the other hay, the look of disappointment after smelling it, is pathetic! But with your hay, they get all excited and give us approval with a soft low snicker! They absolutely love love love your hay, even if it was mature hay!

It’s a long drive but well worth it & I won’t be wasting our money buying it anywhere else!

Last time you texted me to let me know when you’d be baling, can I be put back on the call list…..permanently😁?”

03/03/2023

It has been a while since our last post and we’re happy to announce that we have Good news and better news! As you can see from the picture our fields are greening up quite nicely. Hopefully in a couple of months we’re going to be baling hay.
Thankfully fertilizer prices have relaxed significantly and we are excited to announce that we will be REDUCING the price of our hay this year! As long as fertilizer prices stay where they are now we will reduce our price to $6.50 a bale. Plus the 75 cent loading fee if you want the iron men to load you. As always the entire load fee goes directly to the loaders. I’m sure that everyone will enjoy the savings.
We are certainly looking forward to seeing everyone again soon in the hay fields.
Also by baling time you may get to meet the newest member of the farm family. John Luke Smith (Heather and Dustin’s son). We’re expecting him to join Ella Kate, Olivia and Claire on the es**rt crew and become a loader very soon!

We’ll keep you posted.

Had some fun at Dustin and Heather’s farm!!

10/11/2022

It’s been a little over a week since we closed the 2022 hay season at Pearl River Hay Farm. We are officially Sold Out for the year.

Please accept our heart felt Thank You from our family to you, all of our loyal customers. 2022 did not turned out to be the disaster that I had feared at the beginning of the year. It seemed like the entire year was a battle of high prices, and poor weather conditions but the perfect hay baling weather of the last 4 weeks salvaged the season for us. I was very concerned of having diminished hay quality due to the long weather delay prior to harvest. Thankfully nearly all of our customers, but not us, were satisfied with our product this fall. Rest assured that next season we will try our best to recover our quality!

We would not be in business were it not for the tremendous support that we receive from our customers. Each and every one of you are a blessing from God. Your loyalty is truly appreciated and is what keeps us going. Thank you!

While this year was not a disaster it certainly wasn’t a windfall either. There were only 2 cuttings instead of 3 or 4. Fortunately most of our equipment is paid off so we don’t have a big note to pay this year. And while you won’t see any new equipment on the farm next year we will have something new to show off in 2023.

In April 2023, Pearl River Hay Farm will be welcoming the second child of Heather and Dustin into the family. We don’t yet know if we’ll have a future “field es**rt” or a potential “Iron Man” to join Ella Kate; Olivia and Claire, so follow us for announcements .

Once again, thanks to all of you for tolerating our price increase; weather issues; and other inconveniences. Without you there would be NO Pearl River Hay Farm.
