Hay Tarp for Export Hay

Protecting export hay is of major importance at ACX Pacific Northwest. While some hay is stored in barns, other hay is stored on a stack pad while it awaits shipment to overseas hay importers. Keeping hay covered is important for protecting hay and forage from wind, rain, and sun. ACX Pacific Northwest uses the strongest hay covering tarps from Tarp It–an Ellensburg based company which was recently featured in the Daily Record. The original story is here. Our overseas roughage import customers can rest-assured the hay they recieve from ACX Pacific Northwest is protected by the best hay protection company in the business.
