Your hay prices are shocking!We have been selling top quality Timothy hay and orchard grass for 4-6 dollars a bale and I feel guilty charging that price.Our fertilizer cost 752 dollars a ton and diesel fuel is 4.28 a gallon,so I’m not exactly getting rich here either....
Rains every other day here so I have not baled for 2 and a half weeks,got to make another 70 acres to finish.
Well, I’m in the part of the country that grows trees, not hay. It has to be trucked across the mountains. We do get some local hay but it’s usually pretty low quality and light bales. The Eastern WA Orchard grass we’re buying are at least good, heavy 110 pound bales. A bale would last six days to a week if I was just feeding one horse.
So - how close do you live to me :)
You two need to talk :) You’re both in the same part of this great country I think.
