Quality Jiggs
Hay For Quality Horses and Cattle |
|
Even before we planted our Jiggs
Hybrid Bermuda hay, we had quality production in mind. Because exceptional
hay requires excellent drainage, special attention was given to land
preparation and land forming. We precision graded nearly 500 acres
using Laser controlled land forming equipment. Hay that stands in
water whether because of rain or flood irrigation, suffers, is stressed,
and will have less nutrient value. The new technology used in the
design process at Windmill Farms insures that every acre has optimum
drainage, which makes for top quality hay.
Steven Noisier, one of the top custom grass planters in the state
planted all our hay using the latest in grass planting technology.
Because or the precise manner that our hay was planted, our hay fields
are nearly 100% Jiggs, insuring that you the customer get all Jiggs
hay and not a lot of less desirable grasses and weeds.
Attention to detail makes for uniform hay production |
|
All of our fields are routinely sprayed for weed control using
only the best quality TDA/ EPA approved materials. This also
insures that you are feeding only top quality Jiggs Hybrid
Bermuda hay and not paying for hay that your horses and cattle
can't use.

The pivot point of our 1/2 mile sprinkler system |
We irrigate through our 1/2 mile
Zimmatic center pivot sprinkler system. Ours is one of the largest
in this part of Texas and allows us to apply 2500 gallons/ minute.
Unlike other custom operations which either don't have irrigation
abilities, or flood irrigate which can dramatically reduce the
hay quality, we apply just the right amount at just the right
time. This also allows us to conserve our precious water resources.
Our fields are clean and free of weeds
and other grasses |
|
|
Our fields are cut on 21 day intervals which
makes Windmill Farms hay the best quality.

We use only New Holland bailers at Windmill Farms. While there are
many other good bailing systems, you the customer can be assured that
the Windmill Farms hay that you buy is uniform, tight and typically
weighs more than other bales that you could choose to buy.
