Hay and straw business backs modern farm trends in Ohio
Jack C. Liles and Son run a 1200 acre operation specializing in high quality alfalfa and timothy hay for eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania horse stables and a large mushroom farm. They buy, blend, bale, and deliver hay with two semi tractors and a fleet of trailers, relying on word of mouth and avoiding routes. They handle 1500 to 2000 tons of horse hay annually plus 500 tons for mushrooms and supply 900 to 1200 tons of straw to contractors.

He warned individual farmers may lose power as corporate farming concentrates ownership, with two possible paths: Chicago or New York style agribusiness owning vast farms, or integrated firms contracting with farmers and possibly affiliating with unions such as the Teamsters.
