— from Adrienne Bourne for San Juan County Fair —

Hay hay hay – new for this year at the Fair. Consider entering your hay or grain in the San Juan County Fair Grains & Forage Department and get a free quality analysis. 

If you plan to enter a sample of your hay or grain in the county fair you can be reimbursed $40 to offset shipping and analysis costs for your forage. Simply sample your crop, mail it in for testing, and submit the results with your physical entry. You’ll be reimbursed when Fair premium checks are disbursed. Need help sampling?

Go to Washington State University San Juan County Extension Ag Program’s website  for more information on sampling equipment you can borrow and a list of labs.  Contact Ag Tent Coordinator Angie Shephard for more information at 360-622-5143.
