THE HAY EXCHANGE, INC.
PLANT CITY, FLORIDA

The Hay Exchange, Inc. is a dynamic entity known for its expansive reach into the equine feed sector and beyond. Rooted in the hay business since its inception in 1995 by founder Bill Glisson, who grew up immersed in the trade through his family's involvement, the company has evolved significantly over the years. Headquartered in Plant City, Florida, The Hay Exchange initially served as a wholesale distributor of high-quality hay for feed stores and large animal entertainment venues around Florida. News of their exceptional hay spread rapidly, prompting an expansion into retail operations to cater directly to customers, while still maintaining robust relationships with wholesale clients. In 2001, the business launched Stampede Premium, its own line of premium equine products including hay cubes and horse care items, now distributed across multiple states in the United States. The company occupies over 20,000 square feet in a combined retail and warehouse space, offering an extensive array of products ranging from pet supplies for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals to outdoor gear suitable for kitchens and adventure enthusiasts. These additions mirror The Hay Exchange's commitment to catering not just to equine needs but expanding into diverse consumer lifestyles. Looking ahead, plans are underway for substantial growth, including the development of a new store adjacent to the current facility, enhancing its reach into the realms of outdoor sports and lifestyle goods with a focus on performance products. This expansion is aimed at strengthening its role as a one-stop-shop with personalized service underpinned by deep industry expertise. The Glisson family continues to lead The Hay Exchange alongside dedicated members such as Michael, Cody, Dillon, Rhonda, and Joanna Glisson, reinforcing the company’s familial ethos. Founded in September 1996 and continuing strong, the organization prides itself on its roots and personalized customer service that extends beyond transactional interactions. The Hay Exchange remains committed to high standards of quality control in hay sourcing and procurement, ensuring consistent access to premium feeds through an extensive network throughout North America. It is also notably proud of integrating G5 Outdoor features, presenting Arctic Cat ATVs and related products as part of its diversified product offerings.
