Verification log, national pass: buyers-only rule enforced coast to coast. 8 live wanted ads from AllHay's national board, deep-linked. Government rows are real solicitations and real recurring programs, labeled honestly, now including Wyoming's elk feedgrounds, the biggest state hay buy in the country. Barn roster expanded from the official USDA list plus the Amish-belt and Pennsylvania circuits the USDA list misses. Sellers never publish here. Sell-tab link audit completed: every link opened and checked live, one dead service removed (eHayNet, retired by FSA), two links re-pointed to their real signup pages, free-versus-paid labeled honestly on every portal. Last-sale price boards added from live USDA reports: Pipestone (sold yesterday), Wolgemuth (Monday), Shipshewana (last week), Rock Valley (last reported), broken out by hay type and bale size; remaining barns show a pending note until the daily scan pulls their reports. Drought surge flags set on 3 barns from this week's Drought Monitor plus historical price evidence; flags recalculate every Thursday when the new map drops.
