Bruce,
Good for you. I see no price gouging. The person looked at the hay, went to the trouble of having it tested and bought it - no gun pointed at his head.
We make horse quality hay and believe me the low ballers, including the folks flipping hay (with zero sweat equity) cry a river at our price. THEY are just as guilty of low balling as they claim my price is high.
Funny thing is - when someone buys a load of hay from us AFTER the emergency vet bill because they bought the over-ripe cheap, loaded with foxtail hay or bought some rich hay that their horse colic'd on or they bought hay that was really "green" (and dark green = quality right? ) only to find dust and mold later - all of these customers could have SAVED $$$'s if they had bought good hay from the start. But to the cheap horse owner - price means EVERYTHING and if you charge enough to cover your expenses and make a profit - you're gouging. It makes me laugh!
Haying is cyclical. When you have a ton of rain, everyone's got hay and they drive your price down. When there is a drought - price goes up. It's just supply and demand. They beat you down on price when there is plenty of hay and cry with hike in price when hay is short. I have no sympathy for the low baller buyer when they have to pay more for hay than they "think" it's worth.
Disclaimer - if you are a year in/out steady customer, you'll pay the same year to year.
