In Reply to: Selling Straw posted by CHRIS BLOHM on June 23, 2009 at 10:27:33:
The last couple of bales I bought at the feed store were about $7 or $8 apiece, which I thought was highway robbery. But I needed 2 bales, so I paid what they charged. The kid who helped me load them said they had a hard time getting enough small bales of straw to keep up with the demand. It was very nice, clean wheat straw.
I would do some checking around to see what the "going rate" for straw is in your area. $1.50 seems really cheap, even for bales in the field ready for the customer to pick up and load from the ground. But maybe the supply exceeds the demand in your area, and customers will only pay what you are charging...but I doubt that you are making much money selling bales that cheap. And delivery costs a bunch around here. Have you had any luck getting kids to help you haul? Almost impossible around here, even if you pay $10/hour, and who can afford to do much of that? Good luck!
