So what is your claim to fame and what do you have to offer in support of that statement ?, it's shallow and narrow minded, care to enlighten us how it applies across the board to those with horses that buy hay ?
No, I'm not looking for a silly argument either, not living in the dark ages here, some of the people are less than desirable, some I say, not all.
I realize the equine world has some eccentric and arrogance surrounding it, but you are dealing with individuals here. You have to realize that these are just individuals, not all, also realize that some of these people also put up their own hay, we used to do a few thousand or more, another horse farm nearby still does 6000 bales themselves, and many of the large farms would rival hay quantities that dairy farms would put up years ago. There are valid reasons for hay quality, when it comes to horses, some people really go overboard on that, also some think you can haul 100 bales on the trunk lid of a compact car. There might be a percentage of bad hay customers within the horse industry, but having been around it all these years, a statement like that is not true and cannot be substantiated to apply to every equine business in this country, there are plenty of good reasonable people that will make decent customers. Also, consider what would happen if that industry went bust, what does that do to the hay market ? Reduces it.
You need to have a cooperative agreement between the customer and the hay supplier, weed out the idiots and deal with the decent repeat customers as much as you can, those that know what you have in the field and understand the proces to get it in, weather, fuel and equipment included. We deal with several people on hay, and don't have much trouble for the most part, though I've had some isolated problems with bad bales and a batch of wet bales once from a supplier who thought swale grass and weeds, baled into 80 lb hard bricks was good hay. He sent me 26 wet bales mixed in with 200 that almost went into the stack, would have burned if I did not detect them, thankfully I was there to unload this one. That really p$ssed me off, they were hot and on the way, had to get rid of him, his fields were crap and his attitude matched, former dairyman too. So can I say hay people suk ????? No, just find a better seller, or go back to putting up our own, like anything else in life, just move on when necessary.

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
