NHA News & Resources

Welcome to the National Hay Association

 The National Hay Association, the national trade association for the U.S. hay industry, works daily within the industry, federal agencies, and the Congress itself to create an environment that benefits hay merchants and the people who depend on hay and straw in their commerce. A non-profit organization, NHA's activities are funded entirely through membership dues. NHA proudly represents hay producers, brokers, dealers and consumers of forage products, as well as disciplines and activities of businesses that provide products and services to the hay industry.


December 22nd is Stan and Ruth Steffen's 63rd wedding anniversary. They were 20 and 18 when they married in 1962, have raised seven children together, and now the family has increased by dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

Stan and Ruth have been active NHA members for decades, hosting the 2013 convention in their Oregon community. They have contributed to the forage industry in many ways via Steffen Hay and Steffen Systems, with the next generations assuming leadership roles, and remain very interested in the NHA and its people. 

Recent years have brought some health challenges, limiting travel to recent NHA meetings, and Ruth should be home from recent hospitalization in time for their anniversary. They would certainly enjoy messages of love and support from friends at this holiday season, either electronically or at 4432 Howell Prairie Road NE, Silverton, Oregon 97381.
