[RC] The hay situation - Kristi SchaafAccording to my hay supplier (I'm in Iowa), prices are
the craziest he's ever seen, and he's been haying for
a living 'forever'. He apologized profusely that he
needs to charge us $4/bale this year (50 lb straight
grass bales that we go pick up right on the rack in
the field, the cheapest way to get hay since it's
more like $4.75 if he unloads and stores it). That's a
jump from $3 last year. He said that his grass/alfalfa
mix was sold BEFORE he even baled it, and went for $5
to $6 a bale. This kind of price may seem ok or even
low for those of you in areas where hay supply is
always precious, but in the hay-rich midwest, people
are used to paying $2 to $3 a bale, so this is sticker
shock!
