THANK YOU, thank you, thank you!  I had a long talk with our County Agent yesterday about this World Feeder hay.  He said the company
would not even let them have info to test the hay!  Also warned me "If it sounds too good to be true, etc."  He advised me NOT to plant
this hay.  My husband and I finally decided to just weed kill and heavily fertilize the existing Coastal fields we already have.  Then
I received your message regarding the disaster you faced with this hay.  It only confirms that the County Agent and we came to the
right conclusion for us.

Thank you again for sharing your experiences with this hay.

Amber
