Flack Farms Inc. is owned by Steve and Lisa Flack and has been producing, buying, and marketing hay and straw for almost 25 years from our home in Indiana. We are a full-time hay production facility.
We both attended Purdue University and worked in the crop protection industry for several years, where Steve became increasingly intrigued with forages and their role in the nutritional needs of livestock. We decided to make our own hay to feed our sheep flock and sell to others, and began by making small square bales. We quickly progressed to a large square baler to maximize the efficiency of our operation as our acreage and customer base grew. It was very gratifying to be able to work face-to-face with our end users and actually have flexibility in our marketing, as opposed to traditional row crop producers. We have continued to build those relationships through the years, while expanding, updating, and diversifying along the way.
Flack Farms Inc. now grows several hundred acres of alfalfa and alfalfa/orchardgrass hay utilizing 2 big square balers to ensure that we are making quality hay in a timely manner. We sell our products all over the United States, filling the needs of several different customer groups: horses, sheep, beef cows, dairy and exotic animals.
Several years ago we had the opportunity to purchase a Steffen Bale Conversion System that allows us to take our big square bales and cut them down into different sizes and weights to fit your specifications. We are now able to “make hay” year round in our building that is dedicated to housing and operating this incredible machine. To see a demonstration of the Steffen Bale Conversion System, click here.
In addition to offering all cuttings, qualities, and sizes of hay bales, we can also source your straw needs and run those bales through the Steffen machine to cut them down to the size you prefer.
Finally, we also sell different types of pine shavings to fit any livestock bedding need you may have.
Whether you need hay, straw, or pine shavings, or just want to sell some of your own product, please give us a call so we can quote you a price. We pride ourselves on being family-owned, and when you call you will talk directly to Steve and our products will be shipped in our own trucks. We look forward to hearing how we can help you!
