J&L Hay Farms LLC

Thank you to all of our friends, family, customers, and landowners who have supported us the last 6 years.
We will be shutting down the farm operation here in Michigan.
Our family will be moving out of state by the end of the month, and will no longer be able to support making hay in Michigan.

Thank you,
The Schweikert Family

Good knowledge! With a tough weather year like Michigan has had, this should be something all equestrian owners should read 👍🏻🐴

🌧 Rained-On Hay: Is It Still Good for Horses? 🐴

Lately, many horse owners and hay suppliers have been battling rain while making hay. Don’t be too quick to write off hay that was rained on in the field, dried, and then baled — it may still be suitable forage for horses.

The quality of rained-on hay depends on a few key factors. Forage quality tends to be greatest if:
✅ Rain fell soon after cutting, before much drying occurred;
✅ It was a single rain event, not prolonged or lasting several days;
✅ Rain was intense but short, rather than long and light; and
✅ The hay hasn’t been rewetted multiple times

Interestingly, rained-on hay often has reduced carbohydrate content and may be a safer choice for horses prone to laminitis or metabolic disorders.

As always, we recommend testing hay for its nutrient content, which can be especially helpful when determining the quality of rained-on hay. 🌾🔬

For our followers: We have been on rain delay since June 4th. Yes the hay fields are ready to be cut, but the weather is not cooperating.
We need a good 4 days of dry weather to make the best hay possible.
So pull up a chair and watch the forecast with us 😂
Let’s hope we can get started again soon 🚜
