Hay Production School - 2009
Following on the resounding success of our first annual Hay Production School, we planned an even bigger event for April 21, 2009 in Griffin, GA. The event was held on the UGA-Griffin Campus in the Stuckey Auditorium (click here for directions and a map).
The 2009 Hay Production School was a full day of learning and interacting with fellow farmers. In fact, this training was rather unique in the Southeast, as it was essentially the only opportunity for those who are serious about commercial hay production to get an A to Z coverage of the subject.
