Getting established with customers is the big thing. Most horse owners have bought hay for years from the same farmer. There is alot of horses around, but I think the local markets is pretty well covered $125 a ton is pretty well top dollar for nice horse hay in this area, but this may change as corperate farms continue to take over the family farms. The trouble with small squares is it's so darn labor intensive to get them in the barn, you can't hire local help to do this as this is a job that falls under the "jobs that Americans don't want" category. I am pretty much alone, so small squares would be the most difficult to do. I have seen automatic bale wagons on the internet, and those do really intrique me as I have never seen one work, but nobody stacks them outside because they would be extremely hard to get at during the winter here, if they were covered with a tarp, it would be all covered with snow and froze down to the ground.
