Cost of Hay

I was paying £5 a bale, Nearly double what i was paying last year. All the places i usually get hay from ran out a few weeks ago - i have no hay now and have had to use dengie hifi as a hay replacer with some sugar beet added. So far this has actually worked out cheaper for me and the horses look a lot heathier. We have no grass as such in the paddock but they seem to find something to nibble and we put them on the garden when we can, I'll get some hay if i can for a back up but i think the hifi is working out pretty well why the weather is warm.
 
I was talking to the person i use for hay and he said there is loads growing the problem is getting some sun to cut it
 
Think what this thread shows that there are lots of variables some are ok lots aren't and lots of us waiting to cut still hoping that it will bulk up, but our Northampton fields not going to yield lots as very patchy and farm animals come first.
