Anyone who regularly purchases grass or legume hay for their livestock animals knows that finding high-quality hay year-round can be a challenge. You shouldn’t have to settle for locally produced hay that is typically over-mature and contains little nutritional value, yet this is often the only hay available, especially in East Tennessee. Jamback Farms saw the need for a local producer who understood the importance of careful hay harvesting and storage, and that’s why we’re proud to be the only local farm that offers the highest quality and safest grass and alfalfa hay, all year long.
Purchasing low-quality hay can put the health of your animals at risk in a number of ways. Hay should be harvested before it becomes too mature to ensure that it retains the maximum amount of possible protein, nutrients, and minerals. Paying little attention to harvesting the hay also means that there could be potential for other serious problems, such as beetle infestations. With the necessary expertise and paying special attention to harvesting procedures, these issues can be avoided.
East Tennessee and surrounding regions are often cold in the winter, which means that growing hay isn’t possible. As a result, many hay producers have a limited quantity available or are sold out early, meaning that customers must purchase early in the season and be able to store the product for the remainder of the year. Storing hay for extended periods of time takes a large amount of storage space, which is extremely expensive. Jamback Farms prides itself on being the only local producer that is able to provide high-quality hay, year-round so that our customers don’t have to worry about the expense of storage or lost nutritional value from poor storage.
Jamback Farms understands the need for high-quality hay that is available when you need it, not just when it’s convenient for the producers. We want our customers to be completely satisfied with the quality of hay they’re purchasing, so we always offer feed analysis and upon request. Jamback Farms also partners with the best producers available for any specialty hay products in order to offer our customers a variety of options for the feed programs or specific nutritional needs of their animals.
