[QUOTE="Kell-inKY, post: 1253688, member: 23511"] Yes, we live where grass is plentiful and instead of paying someone to bush hog their land they get it mowed for "free" by letting someone make hay on it. This is 90% of the haymaking in my area. Now, what are the chances of that land getting re-seeded, fertilized, sprayed etc., next to none. There's just so much of it available, and last year everyone thought they were going to get rich making hay so there was way overproduction of it. Probably be a shortage of people making it this year. I can't imagine people in my area paying for higher quality hay either when they can buy the cheap stuff. They basically separate the hay into "cow quality" and "horse quality", almost all horse hay gets made into square bales and they charge out the wazoo. Horse hay is usually advertised as having orchard grass or a little timothy mixed in with a crapload of fescue, helps to sell it to the rich horse crowd who need that special feed for their special horse. It's not really that bad, you just have to drive by someone making hay on a field that you can check out before, then buy some of his before it gets rained on. [/QUOTE]
