A day in the life of a hay producer dealing with horse owners
| 00:00 - 00:03 | Sir, the horse lady called |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | She wants horse hay delivered |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | She has barns here and here |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | The hay must be a 38:62 mix of alfalfa and grass with no weeds |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | She also wants to know if this field has more grass in it |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | All of our hay has grass |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Timothy, orchard, & brome |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | But sir |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | The alfalfa |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | We didn't get rain, the alfalfa & clover took over |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | Then the hay got rained on after cutting |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who cuts, rakes, and bales, leave now |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | Didn't anyone check the weather? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | Horse owners won't buy rained on hay |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | They claim their precious ponies won't eat it |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | They think it'll be moldy |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Horse women are the worst |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | One tiny spot of mold and they'll throw away |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | the entire bale or the whole load for that matter |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Just because they pay more, they think it should be green |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | We told her is was horse quality |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | I've told you time & time again, that horse quality hay is a myth |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, she keeps asking for a discount |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | A discount, who does think we are? Walmart? |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | That's the price! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | If that won't work, tell her we're out |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Hay is short supply, we'll find another customer |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | If she thinks the price is too high now, wait until January |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Horse people don't understand what goes into making hay |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | They think all you have to do is cut, rake, and bale. Equipment & fertilizer cost money |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | And then there's the weevil's. They can ruin everything |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | After all that, the weatherman will give you a great forecast, then it'll rain right before we can bale |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | Tell her it was a tough year |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | Tell her we did the best we could |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | Not everyone can make hay like Ronnie Deloach |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | He gets 6 cuttings a year |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | And we can't even get three, sometimes not even that |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | All that money tied up in tractors, mowers, tedders, rakes, balers, and accumulators |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | And these horse people want a discount |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Free delivery and stacked in their barn no less |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | And yet she wants me to hold her check |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | He's not talking about you, it's the other lady |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | For millions years, horses survived |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | by eating what nature provided. Now look at them |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | They need special hay |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Special diets, blankets, and heated water in winter |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Call the cattle ranchers, they'll feed the hay |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | And they won't complain |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Sell the small baler, we're done with idiot cubes |
