I put up around 4000 sq. bales per year and for 10 years I have sold it to the same people. In other words it was sold when the bale hit the ground. No advertising or hassle trying to sale it. Now things have changed. With 2 years of drout and quality not as good, my customers are shopping around for cheaper prices and better quality. My hay is still good horse feed but not as good as that of areas that had more rain. I stopped by one of my customers horse farm the other day and noticed her barn was full of hay and it did not come from my place. She sheepishly said she got a good deal and it was real good hay. She did not bother to let me know that I should not be holding her 200 bales for her. Her good deal was the same price I get and she had to go get it. I have always delivered. So with her and some other horse people like her who have done the same thing , I am stuck with 600 bales of good hay in my barn that I will have to go through the hassle of advertising to get rid of it. I think next year I will do things different. I will put it in the barn, advertise it, and it will be first come, first serve. I will get rid of it, get paid for it, and have it over with. No more Mr nice hay man to store it all winter for anyone , and no more deliveries, and no more promises to provide hay to any buyers. It seems to me that now days in order to keep regular customers you have to have a perfect product and sell it cheaper than anyone else. How are other hay growers out there doing it?

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
