The annual Hay Expo will be held June 20-21, 2007 in northeast Iowa. The Expo offers alfalfa and forage producers the opportunity to get an inside view of new technology and ideas, and visit a host farm for an on-site tour. Admission is free, parking is $5.

The host farm is Top Deck Holsteins, owned by Roger and Judy Decker and sons Jason, Derek and Justin. The Deckers farm 1,750 acres, milk 650 dairy cows, and raise 700 dairy heifers, calves and dry cows. The Deckers manage their 350 acres of alfalfa to maximize milk production.

The Hay Expo will feature a 10-acre exhibit field with displays from the major and shortline hay and forage equipment manufacturers, seed, building and storage facility suppliers, and numerous related product suppliers. Exhibitors plan to showcase balers, disc mower conditioners, tedders, rakes, telehandlers, bale stackers, forage seed and more.
