3. Hope the hay hasn't rotted. With excessive rain, it could go bad.

We had torrential rains June, July and part of August here. It would have ruined any bails left behind...depending on size.

I had a hay guy too. I say had because he just did less and less and then wanted me to pay him $220 to mow. He got to keep all the hay too. We have very hilly land. There near the end, he just left the hay in bails in the fields because he claimed it wasn't worth his costs.

I got my own tractor and do the fields myself now. I rarely ever need to buy hay.
