Hay Train to Yakyakistan

There were Yak buyers everywhere today! The morning south bound train arrived jam packed with yaks, hay prices have skyrocketed and each train heading north for Crystal Empire left heavily burdened with hay. Around mid afternoon, after they had bought all the good hay they could afford, the yaks turned tourist and wandered around taking in the sights and posing for pictures in front of Friendship castle. They've all followed their purchases north now and I imagine there are long rows of hay carts getting slowly dragged up the steep trail to Yakyakistan. There could maybe eventually be an extension of the Equestrian rail line to Yakyakistan, but there would be snow to clear and a constant danger of avalanches.

Applejack has sold all the third cut hay she's going to sell. She's kept a hundred mostly irregular bales in reserve, partly for her own consumption, partly to sell to ponies later in the year. Braeburn will be leaving for Appleoosa tomorrow morning with thirty bales of third cut hay. He'll be back later for some first and second cut hay as well. Like Applejack and Big MacIntosh, he often requires the energy boost from the second and third cut hays for farm work. My 18 bales are to be delivered tomorrow. My pantry is ready.
