Alfalfa Wanted

ACX is always looking for alfalfa hay of all grades for export markets. Our export hay processing facilities are located in Ellensburg, WA; Wasco, CA; and Wilmington, CA. You grow, we buy into our inventory. The hay is later processed for export to Asia and Middle East markets. We have regional acquisition managers and representatives stationed around the Western USA. We like to buy at least 5 trucks loads of same grade product, but we will accept fewer loads if the freight is workable. We will also buy from the Midwest and further areas if the freight works. As with any deal, it has to be a win-win hay sale. You can send us an email, use our contact form, or call us at (800) 260-8384 for more information.
