ADVOCATE MESSENGER, Danville, Kentucky, Friday, July 22, 1988 State looks for additional hay to meet farmers' needs By TODD KLEFFMAN Staff Writer Recent rains have cut the demand for out-of-state hay, but the state Department of Agriculture still has orders for more Oregon alfalfa than it can get its hands on. Roger Nesbitt, spokesman for the department, said today that farmers across the state have placed orders for 16,000 tons of hay as of this morning, with additional late orders expected. The state has managed to secure 10,000 tons so far and is looking for additional tonnage, Nesbitt said. "We're a little concerned about not being able to fill some orders, but there's a lot of hay still out there and we're still trying to locate more," Nesbitt said. Nesbitt said the first of the 10,000 tons might be brought in by rail as early as late next week and should cost no more News briefs than $125 per ton.

It has not yet been determined how the hay will be allocated if the demand exceeds the supply or what points around the state will serve as distribution centers, he said. In the area, orders ranged from over 1,000 tons in Mercer County to nil in Casey County. Boyle County ordered 650 tons and Garrard County 159 tons. In Lincoln County, orders last week approached 700 tons but steady rains and the delay in firming up the hay purchase reduced the final order to only six tons, said Dan Grigson, Lincoln agriculture agent. Mercer County agriculture agent Bill Brinkley was still putting together his county's order today.

Last week, 90 farmers had requested 1,500 tons, but the rains had cut the order by 100 tons as of Thursday and Brinkley expected more farmers to drop out before the order is completed this afternoon.

In Casey County, agriculture agent Steve Davis said the hay crop has been decent and he didn't even bother to promote the state hay buy because there was little interest shown by farmers. "We've been in pretty good shape and with the rains we've had, I feel there will be enough hay available locally," Davis said. "We weighed all the factors and decided that at $125 a ton for the out-ofstate hay, there are alternative feed sources that are a better deal all the way Anticipating that the Department of Agriculture would not be able to locate enough hay to meet the statewide demand, agriculture agents from the eightcounty Fort Harrod district, which includes Boyle, Mercer, Lincoln and Garrard counties, struck out on their own last week to find alternative hay sources.

Pharmacy Footnotes by Bob Reister COUNTER POINTS Very often, the best person to ask about drug-related matters is the pharmacist.

many More importantly, the pharmacist keeps a file on each of his customers so that he can track their intake of medicines. Such files provide warnings of allergic reactions, unwanted drug combinations, and any prolonged duration of use.
