Hay Hotline
Livestock producers impacted by wildfires face a challenge of finding sources of forage. This hay and pasture contact page was created so landowners and those with hay for sale may list what might be available. The goal is to establish a one-stop shop for the convenience of both New Mexico producers and those who have supplies.
