June 22, 2006 Feedlist Connects Forage Buyers and Sellers Drought conditions in south-central North Dakota have many livestock producers in need of additional forage. Farmers and ranchers who have forage for sale can list it on a North Dakota State University database designed to help feed sellers and buyers connect. Producers also may use this service to list pasture they have available for rent. Feedlist, accessible on the Web at www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/feedlist/, is an easy-to-use database showing what each seller has to sell, storage method (large round bales, small bales, etc.) and contact information. Prospective buyers check the Web site, select what they want to buy and contact prospective sellers to do a deal. There is no charge to buyer or seller for using the NDSU Extension Service Feedlist. To make an entry on Feedlist, buyers and sellers can contact a county office of the NDSU Extension Service or submit entries to the list via an online form. Once hay has been sold or a purchase has been made, contact your county Extension office to have the entry removed. North Dakota residents without Internet access can view Feedlist at any county office. Feedlist has been
available during feed shortages since the late 1970s. Surrounding states have similar services and are linked to NDSU Extension's Coping with Droughts Web page at www.ag.ndsu.edu/drought/. ### Source:
