For 3 years I have bought hay from neighbor friend who has 20 acres coastal (he has no cows), every year he fertilizes and weed sprays anad has custom baled. It has been an oral hand shake type of deal that I buy the hay and the price is discussed at time of bailing. My problem this year he has $1000 fertilizer invested in 20 acres plus $25 a bale for baleing, because of the exceptional drought ( worst in history) the hay is poor quality and they baled 22 bales today. We have not discussed the price as of yet but it looks like he has about $71.00 per bale invested. MY concience tells me to buy, but my business sence tells me no. I am from the old school where my word and friendship is very imporant to me, so I am wrestling with what to do. What would you do?
