I dabbled in the hay business for years and you got to have a thick skin because the product of your sweat and anxiety (weather) gets run down by people who want to steal it. I never had a hay jockey come on the place who liked the hay he was buying. Always something wrong, this that or the other thing. You had to follow them to the scales too. They might be loaded with ice when they weighed empty then stop and knock it off on the way back to the scales, crap like that. One guy got caught with hidden water tanks that were full when he weighed empty then he opened a valve out of sight of the farm and dumped it along the road on the way to the scale. Winter tends to bring up the price of hay. Late winter is peak hay price time.
