Want to really cringe? Here is S Cal, I pay 90 a month for Timothy hay
to be fed to my horses at our boarding barn. this is on TOP of the

$25 a month. Timothy is $21 to $23 dollars PER BALE!

So I covet thy hay!!!

Yikes. I wonder if it would be feasible to import from Canada. As far
as I know, we have loads of hay. I drive by our barn's supplier on the
way out and he's got a full hay shed and three huge rows of it in the
yard under tarps. He's still got some out in the field yet. I think
we're paying something like 3-5$ a square and $80 for a round. With US/
Canadian dollar virtually at par though you might take a beating on
it. It's nice hay, too.
