[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 466166, member: 3306"] Last year square bales were selling for 8-10 dollars. This year, after all the rain and the 4 cuttings a lot of folks got, my local feed store was still charging 8.25. I know he's got good hay and he's charging what the market will bear. (Horse people). We went to Sherman and got first cutting coastal for 3.00. I got all of it I needed. I understand that the cost of fuel, fertilizer.... has all increased. I don't understand how the market bears 8.00 hay when there's so much of it. Even my friend I usually buy from in Grandview was charding 6.50 this year. I just told him thanks but no thanks. He charged me way less than that during the drought year before last. Yes, I think that people are gouging, but as long as there are folks out there that are willing to pay, then why not? I just had to look a little harder and drive 100 miles. [/QUOTE]
