I don't know why people sell it at a loss. I spose a lot just don't value their time to make it. I see some people that cut the hay off old garbage fields that don't yield enough to pay the fuel, never mind other expenses or labor, and then turn around and sell the hay cheap. That part, they got right becuase the hay is garbage anyway. So I don't know why... I do know that I've had a few guys in the barn looking at the hay I've got. One guy complained about the small bales (40 pounds), and the price (2.50). The bales are 40 pounds because the same characters are still complaining about the same price when the bales are 60 pounds. So, he didn't buy any. He can get them closer to home for 2.25 a bale, and the bales are bigger. I recomended he get them there and make that fella feel good about working for nothing. Mine will be there, or I'll feed them... but they're not going for less than 2.50. Right now I'm selling 4x4 soft core rounds for 20 bucks. This is crap quality hay, and it's simply being used for mulch on a wash plant reclamation job. The guy doing the job is a farmer, and well knows what the hay is worth. Never complained a bit about the price. So I'd sit out the misers. You'll probably find someone to buy your good hay at your price, which is still plenty cheap for good hay. Rod
