[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 464780, member: 6496"] Wow some people are just so galdarn... :mad: ! SL you obviously have no idea what America was built on! America wasn't built on screwing your neighbor, wasn't built on fixing or artificially inflating commodity prices, or watching producers around you cull heavy while you sit on tons and tons of hay waiting for spring when you can gouge the sh*t out of people. You make me sick and if you had told me this to my face I would have bloodied your nose! How blasphemous! I expect to pay a LITTLE more for hay every year to match the rise of inflation. I would never pay 400% from one year to the next. I would find another supplier and then rub it in the other guys face. Our neighbors have been very good to us this year. We paid one $2/bale for grass if we baled it ourselves, which we did and we put up a few hundred bales. Another neighbor heard we were buying hay and he had some leftover from last year and we paid $1/bale for grass/alfalfa mix. My wife is the local county Fair Board Manager and their junior board member hooked us up with grass for $2.50 off the rack, and he delivered the rack to our place! We bought big rounds of grass from a new guy this year, he's on the Fair Board also, and he charged $90/ton, which I feel is a good deal. I drive around and see all of this hay being put up and then am told of a "hay shortage". Give me a break, I think most of it is hay producers, not all producers, putting a bug in someone's year of a shortage and then it spreads like wildfire.
