Where do you live? The main problem I hear around here in Waco Texas is the size of the bales. Most of the farmers round baled last year and the smaller bales are gone. Those left looking for hay are having problems transporting the larger bales or refusing to pay delivery prices.
I live in northern Nevada. I think we're running short for two reasons - first it's late in the year with a lot of rain last year so cutting and baling was off. Also, lot of our good hay that is left is going out of state.
