Who shops at Orsheln's Farm and Home?

No small grain producers here, either, except for rice, and they don't bale the rice straw unless there's a local hay shortage, which there isn't this year.

I need straw or square bales of hay. Can't find either!!

To bad you aren't closer to SE Nebraska. My neighbor has 1000 bales, or so, of native prairie hay for $3.50 a bale.

buy some land and raise your own if you dont like other people's prices. I figure if you hate people as much as you claiim, you will relish the time working by yourself raising your own straw. Just think about how many people you can avoid.

Hirsh's here in West Plains, MO has a big bale of wheat straw for $35 - don't know the measurements for sure - approx. 6 feet long by 3 feet wide. That's what we've been buying and it works great - even used a bale to cover new grass seeding in the yard. The chickens love picking through it for wheat seeds and the goats appreciate it, too. Have to use the tractor bucket to lift it off the back of the truck. Don't know if you're close to here - but that's been the best straw buy we've found.

Our Orscheln's here doesn't carry straw or hay. $4.50 from a chain store isn't bad. The wheat crop was terrible and I pay $4/bale for wheat straw from the producer. Oh, and these are very light bales, compared to last years @ $3/bale. Hay is actually cheaper than straw this year.

whenever we get near the Orclends? store I ask out loud, what is daddies most favorite store in the whole wide world> from the back seat come a loud scream....
ORCLENDS! We pull over and spend probably an hour of family time looking at the (I wish I could get this or have that departments). We know what things cost and we get deals there from time to time., but it it is always fun to browes! I like buying things from there rather than tractor supply because it is more 'home feeling' than that extra large box store. Kinda like getting something from the old Otasco stores instead of Wal-mart. BTW our old Otasco store is now a car stereo place here now,, kinda sad! Bye bye to the little man!
MFA is our farm supply of choice, and most of the time best priced!
