We all need this to happen.I never knew those ran so much.
Maybe I should be paying my neighbor to hay my meadows, instead of just letting him take the hay.

About 10 years ago, I wrote my last hay land rent check.
If things keep going the way they are, with farming input costs going up and hay prices mostly flat, landowners may be paying hay farmers.
