What is Hay Net and Grazing Net?

The Farm Service Agency's (FSA) electronic Hay and Grazing Net Ad Service (eHay Net) is an Internet-based service allowing farmers and ranchers to share 'Need Hay' ads and 'Have Hay' ads online. Farmers also can use another feature to post advertisements for grazing land, specifically ads announcing the availability of grazing land or ads requesting a need for land to graze. A few things to remember:

  • Hay Net and Grazing Ads will be automatically removed after a period of 13 months.
  • Learn how to safely and legally move baled hay from areas under quarantine for imported fire ant — please help prevent the spread of this agriculturally damaging and painful invasive pest.
  • Please help your fellow farmer and rancher by keeping ads current and up to date. Remove ads you no longer need advertised on our Web.
