Re: [RC] feed prices...the rest of the story :) - Carla Richardson - Barbara McCrary

Hay prices are set by the market.  Read a livestock weekly paper and you will see hay prices listed.  I could be wrong, but I think all hay goes by market prices, just as cattle do.  And yes, it is a nasty trip from hay-growing locations through the San Francisco Bay area to the central coast.  Farther south, trucks can avoid the Bay area nicely, but it's still an expensive trip.

I would think it?s called ?what the market will bear? Not saying that the producers are taking advantage of us J

 

Also, it costs more to bring any shipment to the Central Coast of California. Truckers really don?t like to come to this area they would rather stick to Hwy 5.
