Go to the GA dept. of agriculture website and then to the farmers’ market bulletin. It is published every other week and posted on line. Then go to the hay column and you’ll see who has hay for sale.
I know a lot of the perrin. peanut around here is consigned to the polo people in Florida, but my childhood friend Sue sells some, don’t know if she goes to FL though. She’s listed on the GA hay website under “Tebeau” per.peanut hay.
And over near Vidalia, several farms sell to FL customers, so I know they go down there. Most everything is coastal bermuda, either tift or alicia, but it is clean and we’ve had so much rain this year that the hay suppliers have lots of hay.
Locally Gene Hart (Hart hay co) and Bullock Hay, sell, but don’t know if they go to FL.
When I bought my wb, the barn down there at Merritt Island was getting its hay from NC, orchard grass mix and it was great. The barn had people go up to NC and get the hay, you might try that.
My BO buys sweet timothy by the bale thru a feed store here in GA, so we don’t participate in the tractor trailer loads that come down from Ohio, but I do know you can find those loads on the national hay for sale sites on the internet as when we had a drought, we got hay that way.
With all the rain we’ve had in GA, there has been a bumper crop of hay.
If you cannot find any hay by the methods above, call Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton and ask them for sources. They are the people who developed our hay.
