You call me ignorant and then state I hope I don't hold a grudge.
I spent over $3000 this spring on fertilizer and baled 815 sq bales with another cutting nowhere in sight without a lot of rain and you think $4 a bale will cover fertilizer,rent and hay baling cost and make a big profit.
What do you suggest I call you??[/quote]
You folks completely missed it... I pointed out what a local guy was doing and how I felt about it. Didn't expect anyone to take it personal like a couple of you did. The ignorant comment is for all of you that stereotype people like "horse people" because you are too thick headed to see that they aren't all alike. Unless they really are in your area..... I have a real hard time with horse people myself and just cringe when I am put in a spot that I have to entertain some of them and be friendly.
Price wasn't the object/issue. I expect to pay what it costs to produce and the farmer's profit which translates to what the price is that the farmer sets (assuming he isn't ripping himself off). What I question is how a roll of hay that was spit out of the same baler as the one that came from an adjoining field of the same type of grass rolled the same day is worth twice as much.....
The folks I deal with except one don't depend on the hay income so much. It's just gravy because they have to mow the fields/orchards anyway. Most don't have a baler, just get it ready and someone else rolls it. The last guy pencils everything out and fertilizes as needed and charges accordingly. What he doesn't sell to me he puts on ebay to avoid haggling. Just that noone has extra 1st cut this year. Looking real good for second cut tho....
Anyway.......... Try not to be offended, my people skills leave a little to be desired.......

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
