Feirstock says his profit margins are still low while his costs are spiking. He says a bale of hay that retailed for 14 dollars a year ago, might be 18 to 21 dollars now. “Farmers are going to use tractors, right? They use tractors to harvest. They use tractors to plant. They use tractors to transport to a processor. They're going to use the tractor to transport from the processor to the manufacturer, from the manufacturer to the distributor. And so they're using the semi trucks every point from a B, C, D, and then from the distributor to us.”
At Holy Cow Tack and Feed, Lynn McKinney says some people are giving away horses they can’t afford to feed.
