Depends on the type of hay (Small/large, round bales), quality, location, market. I sell to mostly goat and horse folks but another good chunk is fall decorative hay. Now as soon as tractor supply calls me up for a delivery then I'll know I'm actually a hay guy.
True.
I disagree, I think farmers need to make or not and shouldn't get influenced by the government to plant or not plant any crop. In the same way government has no place in setting the prices and the consumers need to pay the actual cost of the product so farmers can actually make a fair wage, fairly.
And grass hay farmers dont get gov assistance anyway. I never took a dime of crop assistance. My state allows me a sales tax break on farm machinery and to register a truck at a farm vehicle, about a 50% break in vehicle registration.
Really? Government has no role in tending to the security of the nation? I am for a free market but I am not a mindless ideologue who will stand by and allow the farming industry get decimated by one thing or another. The younger generation is drifting away from the tough life on the farm. Shall we watch that happen? Or should we launch an initiative to stem that tide? There are initiatives to save the environment. How about one to save the farming industry as a matter of national security?
Farmers don't ever get a break. And they get whacked every which way every time Mother Nature has a tantrum.
Our kids are being indoctrinated away from being a country hick. Farming use to be a matter of pride: the homestead on the frontier. Living close to the land. Living in the city hollows out the human soul.
