I pretty much take what my guy brings. Sometimes it's grass heavy (preferred) and other times the alfalfa is heavy in it. We can adjust what and how we feed it. Point is he works with us because we don't cause him extra trouble.
Important thing for me it to get it, few guys in our area are baling small squares anymore. I pretty much take all his 2nd-4th cutting and about half the first. We would be very hard pressed to go get hay ourselves.
He had a customer (and former friend of ours) that was picky about what she took, that called him and wondered why he wasn't contacting her about hay anymore. He told her that we were taking just about all he raised (was keeping some for his wife's horses) and she had said she had her own fields now so he figured she didn't need it anymore (what she was doing was selling the alfalfa-heavy hay she raised, baled by a neighbor, and buying grass hay). She was upset because a) he was selling it to us and b) he wouldn't sell to her. There are enough buyers out there that he doesn't have to deal with her.
We've had issues with some of it being too wet this year but we just have to adapt. He had his guys bust the really wet ones open, but they just piled it up. We went up and spent several hours spreading it out and salting it. It was fine, in fact have fed it all already. We'd talked about getting some more but he wanted to wait and see what we might need in the spring. But he ended up getting a 4th cutting just last week and brought it over. Saved him from having to put it in the barn and bring it over later or take it to someone else (or worse, me having to go get it!). He or his guys bring it over and put it up, we don't have to touch it. We also bought a hay elevator from him (he has an equipment dealership too) so they don't have to toss it up. Good for us and he has some extra income during a slow time of his year.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
