Nancy Howell said: (quoted from post at 22:10:38 06/28/10) Several years ago we were buying hay from a producer just a few miles away. After the first purchase, we were moved to the top of his call list. Why? Real simple. He would call and say when he would be bailing and we would be there. We bought what we said we would buy (and frequently more) and we paid cash.
That is EXACTLY the arrangement we have with the producer we buy our square bales from. We also feed round bales which come from our neighbor across the road, it's always good quality hay and like you ours are pleasure horses so they do not require the same nutrients as say a race horse would. Aside from that, if they have a round bale they'll stand there and eat it all day. Most of what we get is a good mix of timothy, alfalfa and clover with other assorted grasses. Seems that there are probably a LOT of people who are not well informed and they probably make it hell on those of you who produce hay. I can't apologize for them but I can say that there are idiots in every group much like the "producer" who didn't know the first thing about hay that sold us hot bales. But does that mean that I should assume that all producers are idiots who don't know good hay? Of course not. I'm sure that many of you can easily weed out the bad buyers and only sell to the good ones who appreciate what you do.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
