Man! I guess living up here in Iowa isn't that bad after all. We are lucky enough to raise our own hay(grass mix/timothy/orchard/brome and alfalfa) Usually sell it between 2.50-2.75/bale and they range from 75-95#. We even help them load bales out of the barn! Can't believe the prices you all have to pay. Old farmers up here say it's always better to buy the ton, unless your square bales are nice and heavy. . A friend in Springfield IL pays 3/bale, delivered, but they only weigh about 45#. But 10-$12/bale???? What a ripoff, but supply and demand always comes back to bite you in your wallet (among other places!!) With the price of fuel, there goes our trailrides.......... Hey, maybe all of us horsepeople should ride up on the Whitehouse lawn and fight for lower fuel prices. Maybe if some of the politicians had to "step" in it behind our horses, they wouldn't be so quick to dish it out to us!!
