The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

[Hay Dude]

California grows LOTS of grass and hay. Much of the Alfalfa is exported. Timothy has always costed double. I always preferred a grass hay mix. I don't buy it anymore so I have no dog in this race. Just saying it has tripled in price since 1990. and I'll bet that Timothy or Orchard grass is $30 a bale.

Tell us what hasn’t tripled since 1990?
A 50lb bale of hay was $3 here in 1990. Now 35 years later, it’s like $8.

I always viewed horse owners as people with an expensive hobby. Since most make no money or profit off of their horses, they can’t help but try to beat down the prices of everyone who supplies them with feed, straw, vet bills, fencing, etc.

I like the horse hay customers I have. I run the cheap ones or the picky ones down the road. I just tell them “there’s always someone cheaper than me, go buy from them. I’m always out of hay”.

Exported?? My understanding is that most of the alfalfa grown here in northern Nevada is exported to California?

Back in the mowing tractor. No rain for 48 hours. That’s a pretty rare event here this summer.
But it’s cloudy and the threat of rain is still significant.
This one is mushroom hay for sure. Plenty of weeds present.

The wife and I don't beat anyone down on prices. We pay cash for the hay and show up on time to pick up the hay and pay the asking price if the hays not good we just go somewhere else. I just got 175 bales for 7.00 a bale that was the asking price...

You must have quite the guilty concious. I never said you beat anyone down on price.

Your previous comment “your a funny guy” IS a troll of my thread.
Maybe you don’t know what trolling is. Post # 1,533 is a perfect example.

You didnt say what said I was a funny, you said “your a funny guy”.
Don’t try pulling more of your BS on me.

Been a tough summer and your juvenile word game comments aren’t making it any better.

Do you know what the word “most” means? It means the majority, not all.
Since you think you say you fall outside of the category of most, send me your address and I’ll send you a prize.

Wow you sound like a very angry person if one comment sets you off like that.

Its the disrespect you show. And it’s not the first time, either. You’ve made comments like this more than once.

Well so much for free speach.

You can have all the free speech you want, just don’t act like a victim when you say crap about someone and they push back on you.

One thing I learned in life is you never know what another man has been through. If you show respect first, which you did not, you’ll almost always get respect in return
