[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 688213, member: 7795"] I think the biggest part of the problem is price. Folks just don't understand good feed cost $$ to produce, then when you add the cost of freighting it several hundred miles it puts good hay out of reach. So the hay mongers ship junk hay half way across the state and country for what sounds like a deal. NOT. Locally, corn and maize stubble is going for $55 a 6x6 roll. Freeze damaged wheat hay was selling for $65 for 4x6 rolls. Some "new" coastal mix (full of last years growth plus johnson grass, oak tree leaves, sticks and stems) was going for $65 also. Looked at some 5x5 1/2 "fall cut" coastal, stored outside the asking price $65. I really think it had to be on the ground when Ike went thru last year. I had an opportunity to unroll a roll of it and it was rotten and mildewed to the core. Now good hay can be found and delivered, but it is going to cost you $75-$85 a roll to get it hauled in.
