[SIZE=12pt]Last year we had the hay guy from *^^%*&. He wouldn't answer calls, then would show up out of the blue. He left the second cutting in the field before baling for a WEEK. He let the 1st cutting get rained on because he cut & baled several DAYS after he told us he would (when the weather was perfect), right before a STRONGLY predicted storm. Then the bales were crap. The round bales fell apart when we tried to move them and the square bales did too.[/SIZE]
This year we thought we found a good guy. He kept in touch, baled the first cutting when he said he would, even put our half in the barn, because when the weather cooperated, we were out of town. Then he dissappeared, phone disconnected and after 6 WEEKS of trying to reach him because the field was ready, he actually called and said he told an aquaintance a MONTH before that he couldn't cut our hay, assuming the word would get passed on to us eventually
: I wanted to call him, but Steve wisely would not let me :new_shocked:
So, one of our neighbors volunteered to cut it. WOW, we have USEABLE hay...what a novel experience. He says he wants us happy, so he can come back next year. :new_shocked: We have plenty of hay for next year, round and square bales and it's IN THE BARN...I have a wonderful husband
: !!
The last of the hay was put in the barn Monday and today we have had a steady, soaking rain that should continue through tomorrow at least. Maybe our hay luck is finally changing!!!! :aktion033:
