Investing In Hay Futures

[twilightpony]

The third cut haying starts tomorrow, so I decided to get the jump on the yak buyers and order 18 bales from Applejack today. Since the yaks demand perfection, they inspect every bale before buying and they don't buy hay before it's been baled. I'm buying a few more bales than last year, just in case I have more guests.

Cool, that'll be good!

They'll be "imperfect" bales, of course. The hay will be just fine, but for one reason or another, the bales will be slightly longer or shorter than the standard bale. They'll just be a bit harder to stack.

It could be like a weird puzzle!

I'll just put the larger bales on the bottom of my bale stacks in my hay array. It's not like building a wall, the gaps are there to improve air circulation and keep the hay dry and free of mold.
