Starting to feel the effects!

Well the weather/economy is really starting to hit home around here. I spent a great deal of time today calling all the alfalfa farms and feed stores in our area today in search of this years alfalfa hay----wow--this is not a good hay year. All the hay farms around here have been flooded 2 years in a row and have lost there alfalfa. Most are not replanting---alfalfa doesn't like wet. The crop actually originated in Iran/Iraq..........Who knew?! I found some alfalfa (shipped in) about 1 1/2 hours drive from here for $10.00 a bale! Can you imagine? Time to rethink the whole hay thing. I was told that most hay fields are not expecting to have harvest until August--Wow---I know that there are so many people out there that hay is the last thing on their minds right now--so much destruction has been caused by weather events this year and to them my heart and prayers go out. As a country I think we have just begun to feel the effects that this years crop failures hold. Add the uncertainty of the economy in the mix. Its really time to pray. Blessings>faithfarm
