Next year could be a wet year. We could all have surplus hay - especially with all these folks selling out. If the going price on hay is a $15 loss per bale, no one will have pity on the hay producer.
Your dead on Boogie. I sold all my hay equipment this spring, there is absolutly nothing worse than bailing hay for someone or selling it to them. Thats the whining, crying bunch of people there are when they have to fork over payment . Ninty percent are as confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar what it cost to produce a roll. They pat you on the back on Sunday morning and cuss you like the devil all week, until they need their hay cut again.
Last year I had 36 dollar's a roll in my own hay. This year a 100 in fertilize alone, the twenty dollars a roll to bale it is a bargin. Anyone that buys hay should have to spend a summer in a hay field working with their back and wallet.
This is the same bunch of people your hay is worthless, they tell everyone at the local coffee shop they are feeding to their priceless cattle.
