Waechter Hay & Grain Inc.

Waechter Hay & Grain Inc., doing business as JW Trucking, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Emporia, Kansas that has been registered to receive federal awards since September 2003. The company specializes in supplying agricultural forage products to federal agencies, with a particular focus on serving the research and outreach needs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As a reliable supplier of hay and related agricultural commodities, the company has established a long-standing relationship with federal agencies spanning more than two decades.

Waechter Hay & Grain Inc. has consistently provided various hay products and agricultural commodities through multiple delivery orders issued by the USDA Agricultural Research Service Midwest Area. The company's product offerings include grass hay in small and large square bales, alfalfa hay, straw in large square bales, and hay cubes, all supplied on a firm fixed-price basis to support the agency's agricultural research and outreach initiatives across the Midwest region. Delivery locations have included major USDA ARS research facilities such as the National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa, and field locations in Emporia, Kansas. The company has received delivery orders ranging in value from approximately $3,120 to $8,500, with the most recent award in January 2025 for 26 tons of grass hay in small square bales valued at $5,928. All delivery orders have been awarded without specific set-aside designations, though the vendor's small disadvantaged business certification has positioned it favorably for procurement opportunities. The company has served as a prime contractor on all awards, with no subcontractors identified in the delivery order documentation.

Waechter Hay & Grain Inc. currently holds four active and expired Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the USDA Agricultural Research Service Midwest Area. The most recent IDC, awarded January 1, 2025, is a single-award, Total Small Business set-aside contract with a ceiling value of $39,900 and a performance period through December 31, 2025, specifically established for grass hay small square bales.
