We didn't have a drought, but we had a dry spell last year that made hay prices higher and good hay harder to find. I've been noticing a lot of last year's hay that people might have been hoarding is now being offered for sale in our area, still at rather top prices though. I think everyone is opitimistic about what this year's growing season will bring, but still wants to get last year's prices for last year's hay incase not. I really envy the farms that can raise all their own hay. For our little 10 acres, it wouldn't justify buying the used hay equipment it would take to work it, but I have to admit, it has crossed my mind. My hay guy made noises last year about getting out of raising hay and I've been putting off calling him for fear of what he will say. . . I HATE the idea of trying to find someone else who does as good a job as he always did. But I will if I have to I guess. -- Renee M. in raining and WARMING Michigan
