Georgia Farm Bureau accepting
entries for hay contest
Special
The Times
Georgia Farm Bureau
(GFB) is accepting entries of
Bermudagrass hay until Oct.
31 for its 2023 GFB Quality
Hay Contest. Hay entered in
the contest will be tested at
a University of Georgia lab
using the Relative Forage
Quality (RFQ) Test, which
provides an analysis of the
nutritional value of the hay.
Winners will be determined
by the RFQ analysis.
Winners will be
announced at the
GFB convention
in December.
Prizes will be
presented to the
top five producers.
The first-place
winner will
receive the free
use of a Vermeer
mid-sized trailed
mower for one
year, courtesy
of the Vermeer
C orporation.
The winner will
have the option
to purchase
the mower at a
reduced price at the end of
the year.
Contestrules, applications
and instructions for
submitting samples are
available at your local
county Farm Bureau office
or may be downloaded at
www.gfb.ag/HayContest.
All hay entered must have
been grown in Georgia on a
field with at least 25 days of
maturity or regrowth. Hay
samples should be naturally
dried in the field and taken
from the center of at least
five different bales (rolls
or squares) that come from
the same field. Contestants
must be a Georgia Farm
Bureau member to enter the
contest.
There is a $20 entry fee
for each sample entered
in the contest to cover the
cost of the lab analysis.
Hay producers may enter
more than one sample and
will receive RFQ analysis
for all samples submitted.
Contestants submitting
multiple samples, however,
may only place in the
contest's top five for the
sample with the highest
RFQ score.
Checks to cover the
entry fee should be made
payable to Georgia Farm
Bureau. Entry fees, forms
and samples should be sent
to the GFB Public Policy
Department 1620 Bass
Road Macon, Ga., 31210.
Entry fees, forms and
samples may also be taken
to your county Farm Bureau
office.
Previous first-place
winners of the GFB Hay
Contest may enter their
samples for the purpose
of having them officially
analyzed but are not eligible
to win any prizes in the
contest for five years after
winning.
GFB is also accepting
listings for its online hay
directory. Farm Bureau
members with hay for sale or
who offer custom harvesting
or custom sprigging
services are invited to list
their hay and/or
services in the
GFB Quality
Hay Directory
published
on the GFB
website. Hay
for sale or
services can
be listed or
removed from
the directory
throughout the
year.
To be
included in
GFB's online
hay directory,
complete a
submission form by visiting
your county Farm Bureau
office or online at www.gfb.
ag/hay . Hay producers who
enter the GFB Quality Hay
Contest receive a free listing
in the GFB Hay Directory.
Hay producers who don't
enter the hay contest but
would like to list their hay
for sale should include a
$10 check made payable to
Georgia Farm Bureau for
each listing of hay, custom
harvesting, or custom
sprigging. Multiple listings
are allowed.
