MONTPELIER, Vt. — The wet summer has created the need to connect feed buyers and sellers from across New England and Canada and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets, and the Vermont Agency of Digital Services have created a resource to connect buyers and sellers.
“The constant rain this summer has created a feed shortage for many farmers. This new, free directory is an easy way for those looking for feed to connect with those with feed for sale,” said Agriculture Secretary Anson Tebbetts.
Those selling hay, alfalfa, corn, soy, silage and haylage can easily advertise their feed on the directory and can include details like whether the feed is organic and if the seller can deliver. For farmers looking for feed, the directory provides an easy platform through which they can quickly view availability, location and pricing for a variety of feed.
The departments are encouraging feed sellers from across the region, including Canada, to utilize the site.
“By creating this online directory, feed sellers from across the northeast can now advertise in this Vermont resource. We are glad we could offer this service to our hard-working farmers and feed dealers,” said Digital Services Secretary Denise Reilly-Hughes.
The site can be found at: https://cloud.agriculture.vermont.gov/FeedFinder/HaySell.aspx.
