I "sold" 20 bales of top quality haylage a few weeks ago. The purchaser has not turned up to collect, let alone telephoned to tell me he doesn't want them any more, and in the meantime I have turned people away. Guess who won't be supplied by me next year!
I still have enough haylage hestons to last me at least one more winter - several people have said they will buy a certain number, then I don't hear any more from them. TBH I won't keep it for them without at least a deposit, same as selling horses, it's the person who puts the cash in your hand who gets the goods. Talk is cheap!
My hay fields still need mowing though so I am planning to make small bale hay and sell it off the field this year - transport is the problem with big wrapped bales. If anyone in this part of the world (NE Shropshire) wants to come and check them out when they are made, PM me. Doubtful whether it will be June hay though, it is barely 6" high at the moment.
