Battlefield Farms is located in
Northwest Arkansas adjacent to Wedington Woods National Forest where
for more than 30 years we have been known for excellence. Our hay is
sprayed and fertilized annually according to soil testing
recommendations and between cuttings resulting in a product that has
tested at 18.1% protein. Battlefield Farms is a "blue-ribbon"
producer of premium quality Bermuda hay. We carefully cultivate,
harvest and store every bale. While reluctant to claim "no weeds," we
are satisfied that we have as close to no weeds as you can get.
Battlefield Farms can accommodate from a
one-bale sale to a semi-tractor load with facilities to accommodate
both. We load customers in the field or at the barn with an out-front
hay accumulator. All hay is protected from weather, stored under cover
in metal hay barns. Please contact us at the farm for availability and
prices.
