I’m currently living in Ocala, Florida.. and would like to see where they process/make the big rolls hay. If you have any ideas of where I can find a place so I can see it .. please let me know. I was going to go to the Seminole, But I think they only sell the horse feeds.. I don’t think they will show me.
Thank You

Your hay probably comes from fields all over the place. Where my horse lives, they make their own.

There’s a big field and hay is planted. When it grows pretty tall, they come along with the tractor and cut the hay. They let it sit in the field to dry, and will come along to toss it with the tractor again to mix it up so it all gets to dry, not just the top layer. Then they come back again with an attachment on the tractor that sucks up the hay and smooshes it into bales – either square or round.

They get several crops of hay out of the same field during the course of the summer.

If you are buying your hay from a feed store, they are probably not the people that cut and baled the hay. They probably got it from farmers. In florida, they might have to ship the hay in from other states.
