Oxbow’s network of hay growers follow practices of good land stewardship in order to ensure quality crops year after year. As such, Oxbow hay has minimal treatment of herbicides and pesticides throughout the growth cycle, with use being limited to preserving crop integrity. The withdrawal period for these applications is 30 days and most pesticides or herbicides have a 10-14 day waiting period before harvesting. These waiting periods are followed strictly by all Oxbow hay growers, ensuring the integrity and safety of all Oxbow hay crops.
If you are interested in an organic option for your pets, our Organic Meadow Hay is 100% USDA certified organic and is thereby guaranteed to contain no pesticides.
