American Haytech Inc of Green County leads Wisconsin in cubing alfalfa into Haybites tiny hay cubes. The plant buys hay from Wisconsin and northern Illinois farmers and markets the cubes nationwide to dairymen and cattle farmers.

He notes lenders approve loans for cars and TVs but not dairy cattle despite his equity and land contract. He has consulted two bankers and a savings loan, all unwilling to fund the dairy herd.
