Howdy folks, Well I've run into a hard question regarding the 200 or so square bales of straw still in my barn that haven't sold yet. See, recently a real nice fella moved into the county from down Cincinnati way and started his own little construction outfit with a bobcat. He only needed a few bales since he's a small outfit. The thing is, this guy didn't stop there. He said he'd get my straw sold. I was surprised. How could anyone be that nice these days?? Well, it wasn't a hoax. Yesterday he came out and told me he was gonna bring a fella out who would probably buy all I had. I couldn't have been happier. You knew this was coming though...there had to be a catch. The problem was the guy who was wanting to buy the straw. The fella owns a gas station close by and sells the hay and straw he buys for a dollar or so more than what I get for it. But this fella and our farm have a little history. See, back in the winter he talked to the farmer who leases out part of the crops and that farmer sent him our way for straw. The thing is, this guy didn't bother to stop at the house or contact us (the barn is down the road from our house). He just went down and got his straw, left, and sent the check to the other farmer (it was his wheat so half the money was his). I told the other farmer just how upset I was over this guy's actions and when the construction guy came I told him that I wasn't going to sell this guy any straw on account of what had taken place. Well, today that guy called the house and asked about buying straw. So now I'm in a little rut. I feel bad about not selling it because I feel like I'm holding a grudge against this guy. I need to sell the straw but just don't know if I should go ahead and sell it to that guy. What do you all think? God bless. --old fashioned farmer
