Im on the other side of this. Delivery of 10 bales, at least an hour to load, drive, unload, and get the driver back. Thats 60 bucks at least, maybe more depending on the truck at break even. Hay price is down in the 14's. If they pay 6, have 10 percent loss in storage, and make 100 percent retail markup which is not uncommon there's your hay price. Most places dont like to change pricing. People think its great when the price goes down but when it goes up look out.
Ive been adding 1 dollar a bale plus handling and trucking. Its not enough with loss. I wont be handling squares next year except on full truckload orders at cost plus pricing. Got 1 order of 40 left to deliver this week and baler and NH bale wago are both going up for sale. Been paying 4.00 for good alfalfa mix in season in lots of 500. Costs me 50 cents to get it in and stacked and driver charges me 1.25 a bale to load and haul up to 30 miles with a 100 bale minimum. Theres the pricing right there, with 10 bales, from me and Im too cheap, thats 12.50 a bale in freight plus the 5.50 for the hay.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
