[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 332456, member: 9"] I think there are a lot of issues going on with hay...just like what has happened with coffee, sugar, gas, diesel, etc. In our area, hay prices doubled in one year. However, diesel, labor, fertilizer, water in all probably didn't increase production costs overall 100%. I feel a lot of price increase was basically supply and demand. It would take a LOT of fuel and fertilizer cost increases to increase price of a round bale from $50 to $100. I think again, a lot reflects supply and demand and a touch of "greed" with hay suppliers on jumping on the bandwagon while "life is good." [/QUOTE]
