JOHN C BARNUM

John C. Barnum specializes in the production and supply of high-quality forage crops, specifically grass and alfalfa hay, to support federal wildlife management operations. Their core capability lies in sustainable hay farming practices tailored to meet the nutritional requirements of wild equines, including horses and burros under federal stewardship. This includes precise crop planning, soil management, harvest timing, and post-harvest handling to ensure nutritional integrity and compliance with federal animal care standards. The contractor’s technical expertise centers on forage agronomy, seasonal crop cycles, and logistics coordination for bulk delivery to remote federal facilities, with a demonstrated focus on meeting the specific dietary needs of protected wildlife populations. The contractor has established a direct working relationship with the Department of the Interior, delivering critical forage supplies to the Litchfield Wild Horse and Burro Facility. This engagement reflects a specialized niche in supporting the Bureau of Land Management’s animal management mission through reliable, mission-critical agricultural supply chains. The work requires adherence to federal wildlife protocols, environmental stewardship guidelines, and just-in-time delivery schedules for animal feed programs. The primary NAICS code 111940 — Hay Farming — defines their operational scope, indicating a focused vertical in forage agriculture rather than broad crop production. Their market positioning is highly specialized, serving federal agencies that manage free-roaming and federally protected animal populations, where consistent, high-nutrient forage is essential to animal health and regulatory compliance. John C. Barnum operates as a sole proprietorship (Entity Structure 2J) with no federal certifications on record. The business is geographically based in Doyle, California, positioning it to serve western federal land management operations with proximity to key wild horse and burro facilities. Their government market presence is defined by targeted, mission-aligned agricultural support rather than broad federal contracting scope.
