Our experienced staff is well versed in domestic and international logistics supply chain management and add additional layer of customer service to guarantee that the delivery meets the customers expectations - every time. Whether your needs are Domestic or International, our close proximity to the Interstate-10 corridor and the Long Beach Port ensures our ability to guarantee on-time shipments while maintaining the most reliable and low cost freight available in the United States.

Our exports are routed through the Port of Long Beach to ensure the lowest possible freight costs. All shipments come with 21-day free time at destination port unless otherwise specified.
Secure Payment Options
In order to offer our customers the safest and most secure payment options, we have established international banking relationship with several US Banks. Through the International Banking Division, we are setup to handle LETTER OF CREDIT payments with up to 180-day extended payment terms. This flexibility allows the customer (via Bank) to work directly with US bank to ensure maximum payment security. All original documents and payment are handled BANK-to-BANK.
As an alternative to customers who are not setup to issue Letters of Credit, we are able to work on a CASH-AGAINST-DOCS (CAD) basis. We require a 50% deposit prior to loading and final payment in full prior to releasing Original Bill of Lading and other original documents.
Fumigation
For customers that require product fumigation, we offer Container Fumigation at an additional cost. We are able to comply with international regulations and work closely with the US Dept. of Agriculture to meet any Phytosanitary or customer requirements.
Nutritional Analysis
In order to ensure the most accurate nutritional analysis, we work with Chandler Analytical Labs, an “A” rated Laboratory who is certified by the National Forage Testing Association. (NFTA) All of our field inspectors are also NFTA Certified Hay Samplers and have undergone rigorous training to ensure they understand the correct NFTA approve sampling procedures. We understand that the “Test” often determines the value of the hay and therefore take every measure to ensure the most accurate tests possible. NIR and WETCHEM test available. We also provide testing for GMO, Verticillium Wilt, Aflatoxins, Endophytes, and Radiation.
Farm/Inventory Inspection
I encourage customers to come and visit us and see first hand what we can offer. We are conveniently located approx. 20-Minutes drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. (Airport Code PHX) Customers who wish to select stacks, view inventory, sample hay, or simply tour the farm are always welcome to come and visit with our team. Hay is our passion and there simply is no better way to build the customer relationship than by walking the fields together. So book a flight and we will be happy to pick you up and give you the grand tour. *VISA/Invitation Letters are available for international customers.
Long Term Supply Contracts
Government Tenders, Dairies, and Larger Facilities often require the stability and price certainty of year-round or multi-year pricing structures. We are happy to tailor a buy-program that works to meet your annual tonnage and shipment requirements. Whether 10/FCL per Month or 10,000/MT per month, we are well positioned to supply the most enterprising requirements.
