One of the great things about today's technology is the ability to quickly get in touch with others involved with similar situations.  The USDA is using that technology to put people involved with hay and grazing in touch with each other.  Read more for details on Hay Net and Grazing Net.

Both are services provided by The Farm Service Agency.  And as the names obviously suggest one if for hay and the other if for grazing,  

 allowing farmers and ranchers to share 'Need Hay' ads and 'Have Hay' ads online. Farmers also can use another feature to post advertisements for grazing land, specifically ads announcing the availability of grazing land or ads requesting a need for land to graze.


 Using the site is free, but if you want place an ad there is a one-time registration process, it's still free, you just have to fill out a form.  You can browse ads placed by others without registering.  
In addition to purchasing hay that has been cut and bagged, you can also purchase hay that is still in the field and harvest it yourself.  While the service covers all 50 states, ads are broken down by state.  Here are more details on the site's operation, or click here to browse ads.
