[Jacob-list] Hay Woes

[messen at socket.net]

Round bales around here have always been twenty to twenty-five dollars.  
Last winter when hay was short, those same bales were being sold for sixty 
dollars.  This year has been a decent hay year and I am buying about 
twenty-five percent more hay than I expect to need.   I am paying twenty 
dolls each and this winter I will sell it for twenty-five dollars.  My 
goal is keep the gougers away from the people that I know.  I know that I 
can change the world, but I can still feel good about trying to treat 
people with a little dignity. 
Also around here nobody weighs hay.  It sells by the bale and everybody 
brags that "my bale is bigger than yours".
