| DODGE GRAIN in Salem, N.H. imports 2 trailer loads of extremely
high quality Canadian hay weekly, and will sell it by the bale,
or in bulk. They will deliver. I have used it for two years and
have never gotton a bad bale.

| A 65lb bale of Canadian 70/30 timothy/alfalfa mix will go for $6+
a bale, while local 35lb timothy/grass or grass hay will go for
$1.75 to 2.50 depending on quality. Buying by the ton will decrease
these prices somewhat. Also, if you buy local hay and pay/contract
at the beginning of the season, you can usually get a better price.
Commercial grain, such as BLUE SEAL, will run $10-$12 per 100 lb.
Again, buying by the ton decreases the price.

| 406.7 | Some tips on bulk... | PLANET::NICKERSON | Bob Nickerson DTN 282-1663 :^) | Thu Oct 15 1987 15:55 | 38 |
| Expect to pay between $125 to $140 a ton for good horse hay which
is trucked in. You can get some deals for locally grown hay but
you may have to check the quality and content. Normally in horse
hay you will find mostly timothy with a mix of clover, alfalfa (both
legumes) or red top, orchard grass. After having bought hay in
bulk for a while (10+ years), I can tell you where some of the pitfalls
are:
Never buy from a broker - There are lots of bad brokers and a few
good ones. In any case, why deal with a middle man when you can
easily talk to the producer.
Always expect to see a weigh-slip. Reputable dealers will always
let you know exactly how much you got.
If the hay is bad when they show up, send it back. Absolutely don't
let them unload junk because even if they make good on it, they'll
never take it away.
Don't accept wet hay. If you are lucky enough to not have your
barn burn down, it will only go moldy anyway. Note that moldy have
is a sure way to start a colic.
If you can get samples, get about twenty bales (even if you can
buy them from a customer of the same supplier). Don't feed them
by have them core sampled first for anaylsis. Blue Seal feeds will
do this for a fee or even free if you are a big enough customer.
After they are cored, feed the hay to your critters to see if it
is palatible to the real customer.
Make sure that the supplier knows that you are a discriminating
buyer and will accept only good quality. If they know that up front,
they will be less likely to drop junk on you.
Regards,
Bob

California the average price for a 3-wire bale (120lb) alfalfa was
$7.95.

| J & F FARMS SELLS CANADIAN HAY & SHAVINGS FOR ABOUT $140 TO $150
A TON DELIVERED AND STACKED. THEY ARE IN DERRY N.H ON ROUTE 102.
I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER WITH ME BUT THEY ARE IN THE BOOK.

| 406.11 | We also get hay from J & F | NOWIMP::DADDAMIO | Testing proves testing works | Mon Nov 09 1987 15:22 | 9 |
| J & F Farms also sells their own hay. We have been getting that
for the past few years. We live in Peterborough, NH and they deliver
to us and also bring a hay elevator to get it up in our loft. We
usually by all our hay for the year at once, so they come with a
big tractor trailer load (usually around 10 tons). I recommend
them highly.
