[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1002861, member: 498"] The hay here is 50/50 small square and round bales. Lots of wrapped haylage. The people who sell hay make small squares as they are in higher demand. Over the hill in Kathie's neighborhood the vast majority of hay is in big sqares. Practically no round bales and small squares are getting harder to find every year. Hay in the PNW is sold by the ton not by the bale. Most of the hay in Kathie's area and just east of her gets sold and hauled some distance. Squares, both big and small, allow you to put more tons of hay on a truck load. I know two brothers. Both of questionable moral charactor, but one a lot worse. One lived over here and had a feed store. The other worked for an eastside hay farmer over in the Columbia Basin. The feed store guy called his brother wanting to buy a load of hay. His brother said he worked a deal and to bring a truck. So feed store guy takes a semi over to get a load of hay. He spent the night at his brother's and first thing in the morning they go load it up from a stack in the middle of nowhere. After they load they drive to the scale and weigh the load. Feed store guy writes a check the agreed amount per ton and takes his load home. Later he notices that his brother had deposited the check in his bank. When the story all came out it turned out that the stack they loaded out of didn't belong to the boss of the eastside brother. So he had stoled the hay. Had his brother unknowingly help steal the hay and charged him by the ton for it. There are people in the world who you want to avoid doing business with, even if they are related. Over in the Columbian Basin there are lots and lots of hay stacks alongside fields where there isn't a house anywhere in sight. People who know what they are doing can load 30 tons of alfalfa on a truck might fast. [/QUOTE]
