Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States Grades for Timothy Hay, Clover Hay, Clover Mixed Hay, and Grass Mixed Hay: Effective February 1, 1924; Including an Outline of Haymaking, Baling, and Loading Methods Essential to the Marketing of High Grade Hay By comparison with the standardized trade and commerce in other major agricultural products, the national commerce in hay is almost chaotic. Uniform standards of quality or grades for timothy, clover, alfalfa, and other important hay crops have not been com mouly employed throughout the hay markets of the United States. For example, No. 1 Timothy, No. 2 Glover, and No. 1 Alfalfa are terms commonly employed in the hay trade, but heretofore these terms did not define commodities of identical, or nearly identical, quality to all men and all markets. These terms, as heretofore used, were variously interpreted and applied and did not define nor pre scribe definite commodit standards. In many communities and markets no grades have been employed for defining quality as be tween buyer and seller. Under such conditions contracts were difficult to enforce and the marketing of hay was often risky busi ness. In other instances grades have been devised which had some merit locally, but which had little recognition in other communities. Whenever such local grades have been formulated and applied by hay-receiving organizations the final outcome frequently has been a complaint from producers and shippers that such grades favor the buyer and discriminate against the shipper.
