Is there a real shortage in the UK ? Or are producers profiteering as always ? So, it appears that I am wrong in my assumption that UK farmers are less profiteering than our American cousins.

Is there a real shortage in the UK ?
Or are producers profiteering as always ?

I phoned around and found most people were wanting around £4 a bail, one was asking £5. I then found a local farmer whos hay was priced as normal at £2.50 his words were that he'd been able to cut as much hay as usuale and was digusted at some of the prices others were chargeing. His hay is lovely and he will now continue to have my custom. What county do you live in !!! my usuale supplier let me down saying there wouldnt be enough.
