Little bit cheaper this year. $175 cheaper per 5 ton from last year. Every little bit helps.

Yes, it does help. Still a little much I think!

Its easier when I look it as spending money on farm for a return verses the government taking it for taxes. I also get it from the local COOP so I get a bit of a dividend check each year. I can almost double hay production on what I cut for about $2000 per year verses paying someone else for hay which would be close to $15000 at local prices.

Much agreed.

Thanks Steve, as you know that Marsha and Amber have these phones. As I have no idea how to use them, as my phone is a simple $30.00 flip top. ( with text )
