In this episode, host Stephanie Ruff continues the conversation about hay. This month the focus is on how to get the most out of your hay – from the purchase to storage to reducing hay waste. And to help us with that, Stephanie talks to Dr. Bob Coleman, associate extension professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences in the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky, her alma mater. Dr. Coleman’s extension program covers the state and focuses on nutrition, management and facility design. This is a subject near and dear to his heart. Take a listen!

At Tribute Equine Nutrition, horses have always been at the heart of everything they do. As a family-owned company proudly manufacturing feed right here in the USA, Tribute believes in supporting both horses, and the people whose lives are touched by them.

That's why, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Tribute is giving back through a special summer initiative supporting PATH International's Equine Services for Heroes program. Through equine-assisted services, these programs help veterans build confidence, connection, and healing through the power of horses.

Throughout the summer, every bag of Tribute product sold helps support this important mission. Horse owners can also join the celebration with Tribute's limited-edition Patriotic Horse Treats, featuring festive red, white, and blue sprinkles.

For those who aren't currently feeding Tribute, there's never been a better time to learn more. Tribute's team offers free, personalized feeding plans designed around each horse's unique needs, and new customers receive their first bag free.
