I think it's supply and demand. Take my hay for example. A 2000 # 5x6 bale of quality ought to fetch $50. Well, somebody is out there (hobby farmer, custom baler out for the $$$ only ?) selling garbage for $25 and when a customer looks in the local, weekly, area paper and sees $25 a roll, a lot of them don't know what they are buying or don't have the money to pay for the product they need. Consequently the good stuff doesn't sell. So to sell it you drop your price and loose your shirt....unless you feed it. So that's what I do. (Custom baler clarification for those who do it: I am talking about minimum fertilization, high weed content, and an over mature crop....stalks and tops...gets the roll count up; but the nutritional value is way down....so the owner has to feed supplements like range cubes, so what did it buy him? I'm not talking about the guy who is a custom baler and does it like HE was buying it.) Mark
