Alarm was expressed for hay supply in Franklin county to carry farmers through winter and next year in a statement Thursday by Lavor Doney vice president of the Cache Valley Pea Growers association. He urged anyone with hay for sale to contact the county agent and those short of hay to get in touch with sellers. He also urged farmers to prepare alfalfa seed, obtain northwest seed, and warned that Argentine seed may carry infection after relaxed inspections. The hay shortage could worsen next fall if winter-kill affects alfalfa during thaw and freeze.
