Canadian hay, laid into Texas is running me about $270 a ton. thanks to oil field haulers who are coming home anyway, may as well run for $1.25 a mile!!
I tell the guys what it will cost to get the hay down there, and they don't care. if I had to feed my cows hay that cost that much, I would have no problem taking them to town!!
the trick is, some of these guys are getting the hay into Kansas for 180 - 200 a ton, then selling it again for 250 - 275.....and then the Texans are paying to haul it from Kansas to texas....over $300 a ton !!!!
I believe in free market and profit, but to rape a man who NEEDS the hay is ignorant.
