You could discuss your needs, how much you want, how and when you want it delivered. Really just get to know the man and his operation and developing a relationship. Leave nothing unsaid so there will be no surprises. I've been buying hay from the same man now for about 12 years. He has raises good hay, bales good hay, has good equipment for haying and hauling. He knows what both of us are expecting. I test it at my expense ($12.00) and I test moisture myself. Have always got exactly what we agreed upon. As long as he doesn't drop the ball I have no reason to even look anywhere else.Bigfoot":309p6y9u said:midTN_Brangusman":309p6y9u said:BF have you tried the hay exchange? I usually find local hay on craigslist. Will not buy hay again without having it tested, learned the hard way.
I've got a user name on the hay exchange. Hay production like I have in mind seems to be far south of me, and far west of me.
One might could get lucky, and find hay on Craigslist here. Majority of hay I see on there would be pretty poor quality.
Id like to find someone, that I could commit with, to go ahead and bring me hay in the summer, when it's cut. Store it here, and have it when fall comes.
I don't need enough, to meet my entire hay needs. I just need a portion. We may be talking 2 semi lol ads though.

How far is your supplier, from your operation?
