BARR-AG LTD

Barr-Ag is now producing dehydrated corn silage. Having reviewed current baled corn silage offerings in the world. Barr-Ag Ltd. felt compelled to produce its own corn, ensile and dehydrate our own line of silage.

Baled immediately following the harvest of the grain, our 3'x4'x8' bales of straw are hauled into storage to await processing. Straw can be processed into the same formats as our hays according to the customer’s needs. Barley and Wheat straw are all also available in large volumes shipped across Canada and USA in vans to mushroom facilities, dairies and feed lots. The moisture is regularly checked during baling and when hauled into storage. Our quality control begins in the field, is re-evaluated during processing, and a final check is conducted during shipment.

Dryland alfalfa hay is cut up to twice per season, while irrigated alfalfa may be harvested up to 3-4 times per season. Unlike Timothy hay, which is graded by observation and smell, alfalfa hay is graded by an independent laboratory analysis. Due to its high protein content and our excellent growing conditions, Barr-Ag’s alfalfa hay is sought after by dairy operations around the world; many of our clients come during the harvest to visit our farms and place their orders.

Barr-Ag’s Timothy hay is argued to be some of the most palatable hay in the world. We are fortunate to have clean air, rich soil, and a pristine environment in which to grow our hay. Increased sugar content is the result of higher altitudes and our northern location, which makes for long, warm days and cool nights during the growing season.
