[QUOTE="Muletrack, post: 1739111, member: 30827"] Where's the line between profit opportunity and price gouging on hay bales. In the midst of the drought I got some fairly nice grass bales for $50 each. Now everyone thinks they should get $75-$150+. Told the $50 guy at the time that I would buy everything he bales next summer. Would rather graze than make hay. Read on an older thread that this isn't really a problem other than supply and demand. I can see that point of view. I had some hay to sell a few years ago, priced it reasonably and said in my ad, "Will not price gouge during a drought. Phone rang off the hook (mostly from big ranchers trying still to dicker me down). Somewhere, their has to be an ethic involved. [/QUOTE]
