    I am a begginer :) I made hay for other farms...hard work , little money :( Now I want my own animals cows, goats, sheep. What do we do if there is big snow all winter time ? I understand they can eat through when there is little snow , but I don't understand how they can reach to the hay below when there is lots of snow ? Please kindly explain . Thank you

      Bianca, everyone needs to have contingency plans for adverse weather (snow, ice, excessive rainfall, drought). These plans are often based on conserved forage (hay). In the case of smaller operations, it is often more cost effective to purchase hay rather than own equipment to make it yourself.

      For one thing, I lived in the Northern Kingdom of Vermont and many bought hay from Quebec because of the exchange rate. The St. Lawrence valley is milder than New Englsnd and very verdant.

      I lived in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont (Siberian climate) and many bought hay from Quebec because of quality, availability, and the exchange rate. The St. Lawrence valley is milder than northern New England, with large farms, and very verdant.

      Old time French Vermont farmers would grow buttercup squash for winter feed for milk cows. I guess horses will eat them too.

    Should I be all the hay business no trash is paid for balers paid for. I have bought and hey in the past. People selling you hey take advantage of you period that will never happen again.

    If you think that I'm going to sell hay for $50 a ton you are nuts. I will have at least $70. And that's break even for me you're asking me to work for nothing. I wish I was at your meeting.
