Hay Association debates uniform testing at convention
At the National Hay Association convention, Don Ast of Hazelton Idaho urged uniform testing and lab standardization to benchmark hay quality across states, arguing for consistent results while John Wilson of Artesia New Mexico cautioned that testing numbers alone do not reflect feeding value. Ast urged education on sampling and certification of labs, comparing potential hay grading to wheat and cotton grading systems.
