Some parties in upstate New York horse country have been stealing bales of hay. It has been estimated that over 3000 bales have been pilfered in three years to the tune of $30,000. The average horse consumes about 150 bales per year. And in times of drought or inclement weather hay prices can soar. At the other end of the food chain I recalled the late Bill Veeck's book entitled "Thirty tons per day" which represented the amount of manure produced at his Suffolk Downs Race Track.
