[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 856872, member: 3162"] I could have irrigated this year and come out ahead. Who knew in June that this drought would last like it has? Irrigation cost me $42 a bale last time I did it. You can sell hay to strangers and come out ahead. Sort of like dropping your cows off at the sale barn and let the market prices dictate. If I would have added the $42 a bale price to the hay, and tried to actually earn $5 a bale, all the regular customers would have been totally ticked off. They would have bought elsewhere just because. Nice guys always finish last. That is why we are no longer in the hay business for the most part. [/QUOTE]
