We at Progressive Forage Grower thought to ourselves why not have it bring a little competition too? Inspired by the Montana Bale Trail (Read our article about it here: http://bit.ly/3416_HayDecorating), we decided to host our own contest - a hay bale decorating contest.

The process is simple enough. Dress up a hay bale on your farm, snap a photo and e-mail it to us. The most creative submission wins.

Deadline: Entries must be submitted by e-mail to emily@progressivedairy.com by Monday, November 22. Finalists will be announced Tuesday, November 23, and public voting will take place until Tuesday, November 30. Winners will be announced Wednesday, December 1.
