Higher hay prices ?????

I bought seed early summer when things first started drying up and forutunately I didn't use up all I had from 2 years ago. Also, found some sacks of seed of some sort that are ancient from a previous owner, but its all going out to pasture regardless, along with oats and anything else I was able to scrounge. Got a big bag of turnip and kale at an auction. Its surprising what will sprout sometimes. We did get some late fall growth in the hayfields and it went to seed as well. So hopefully something will be there for next year. Just don't need another drought.

Heh heh--I found a couple old 55 drums of ryegrass and oat seed my father had put in the top of the barn and I put 'em in the hopper to broadcast em out a few years ago. It wouldn't sling.
Nothin but chaff and hulls--bugs had eaten all the seed germ.

I suspect that could be what happens here as well, but the stuff has to be dumped somewhere and I am going round the fields anyways so I figure what the heck.
