Feed Storage, Hay Care, and Fencing Accessories
Keeping your farm running smoothly means paying attention to the details — from storing your feed and hay properly to maintaining fences with the right tools and accessories. At Hay Plus Farms, we provide the products and advice you need to keep your livestock healthy, your feed protected, and your fences strong.
1. Protect Your Feed with Proper Storage
Feed is one of the largest investments on any farm, and improper storage can lead to mold, pests, and nutrient loss. Protecting your feed is essential for healthy livestock and cost savings.
- Behlen Food Storage Containers: Keep your feed dry, clean, and safe from rodents and moisture. Our Behlen containers are sturdy, easy to use, and ideal for long-term storage.
- Storage Tips: Keep containers in shaded or sheltered areas, seal tightly, and rotate feed to use older stock first.
By investing in proper feed storage, you’re protecting your livestock and your bottom line.
2. Seasonal Hay Storage Tips
Hay is another critical farm resource that requires careful handling. Poorly stored hay can lose nutritional value, attract pests, or even become a fire hazard.
- Stack Wisely: Keep hay off the ground using pallets or gravel to prevent moisture absorption.
- Ventilation Matters: Allow airflow between bales to prevent mold growth.
- Covers & Protection: Use tarps or other covers to protect bales from rain, snow, and sun damage.
Even if you no longer carry large flat-pack buildings, small-scale storage solutions like Behlen containers and well-planned stacking can make a huge difference in preserving hay quality.
3. Essential Fencing Accessories for Strong, Safe Fences
A well-built fence is only as good as its components. Small accessories and tools can make all the difference in fence longevity and livestock safety.
- Hinges, Flat & Domed Caps, and T-Post Drivers: These small items help your fence last longer and keep animals secure.
- Fence Pullers & Hardware: Proper installation and tensioning prevent sagging or broken fence lines.
- Panels & Gates: Pair your accessories with high-quality panels, cattle and horse panels, and in-house or Behlen gates for complete fencing solutions.
Investing in the right accessories ensures your fences stay strong, safe, and functional season after season.
