Ranchers all across this great country of ours deal with a recurring problem: hay is always where the livestock isn't. Seems like it's always too wet or too dry or too cold or too...well, you get the picture. But conditions for growing hay are perfect somewhere else. So, how do they get the hay to where the animals are? It's an old problem.

The good folks at the USDA have, via their Farm Service Agency, created a high-tech approach to this problem: Hay Net. It's a website of wonderful simplicity, with two main links on the home page, one for those who have hay to sell (Have Hay), and one for those who need hay (Need Hay...doh, what did you think?).

All websites should be designed this well.
