Hay and Forage Hotline

How do I list my hay for sale? There are three ways to get your listing on the Hay Hotline:

1) Call (406) 444-2402 and provide your information over the phone

2) E-mail your information to agr@mt.gov

3) Fax your information to
(406) 444-9442

Make sure and include your name, address and phone number and we will enter your information manually onto our Hay Hotline database. 

 

How do I buy hay?

Using the map and other links listed on the Hay Hotline page, click on links to find listings that may suit your needs. 

Once you've found a hay source you believe may work for you, contact that producer directly yourself using the contact information provided in each listing. 
 

 

Is there any cost to list my hay?
No, the entire service is entirely free of charge. 
 

Some web sites allow people to enter information into a database directly on the site itself, can I do that?
No.  At this time the department doesn't have the capacity to allow people to enter their listings in the database through the web site itself, we enter the listings manually onto our Hay Hotline database.
When I find hay I want to buy, do I need to contact the Montana Department of Agriculture, or do I contact the producer directly.
It is not necessary to alert the department to hay sales or purchases, however, we would like to know when hay is no longer for sale so we can keep our listings accurate and current
