Hay There!
Ongoing droughts are pressuring horse hay production in Indiana and Kentucky, leading to a decrease in the quality and quantity of hay. Key data suggests a significant decline in alfalfa yields, while other hay types present mixed outcomes. The scarcity has raised costs and required nutritional adjustments. Horse owners are advised to plan for shortages, consulting with professionals to maintain equine health and diet balance, consider alternative forage options, minimize hay waste, and share resources and information within the community.
