Been there done that. Horsey people always think the hay is greener in some one elses barn. They bounce around like a high school girl with 10 dates for the prom. Had what I thought was my steady customer poop in my stack last year. All winter she wanted me to garrantee her 1100 bales. When she normally gets 500. I resisted the urge for a wile but finnaly gave in and said I would garrantee her 1100 bales. 1100 is my for sure number of bales I can do no matter what. Rain/ no rain, broke equipment. I can for sure get 1100. Any more than that when every thing comes together is gravy. I dont take money for whats not in the barn. So to do that I could not take any pre orders from any one else. I had to send them away.
Well normally I get a good bit on the 1st cutting about June 20th or so. last year it was wet around that time and I couldnt get at it until June 30th. I got ahold of her when I had 300 in the barn and said I had them. She said well... We are only going to need 200 bales this year. we needed hay on the 20th and you didnt have any yet. So we got a 1000 bales from some one else. I was very disapointed to say the least. I had turned away 5 other customers to garrantee her the 1100 bales and they had ordered from some one else.
After removing my own foot from my rear. I will not hold, promis,Garrantee or otherwise bind my hands in any way again.
When the hay is in the barn I will email all who I have address for and 1st come 1st served. Then put adds in for what ever is left. Its nice to have steady customers who buy every year. but its a bad idea to count on them up holding their end. Sooner or latter they will disapoint you.
