The op should be aware that you will never get a deal where two or more people are on the other side.

The op made a deal to buy some grass to make into hay. He made good hay , and the other side now think they have been robbed.
The bales are his, all he has to do is pay the price agreed upon reciept of invoice.
I have been caught similiarly once or twice.
Wtf

Seriously - have you no empathy.
You are openly attacking someone on a potential personal issue and gloating about it, whereby you know nothing about the history here - whereupon it could be his partner who may be reading your crap - and you are simply adding to their anxiety burden...
Just let it be on this one!!
Please pm me your phone number and address Dick head
Fully appreciate there's a lot of frustration to these situations but I will say, an inquiry is not an agreement.
An example from some 20 odd years ago.
A Farmers son is baling straw.
Neighbour turns into field to have a nose. Stops son to ask about the bales.
Son says they've filled all the barns so it MAY be available and will ask dad.
Neighbour leaves in excitable spirits.
That evening Son tells dad that the neighbour wants the straw, Dads sold it to someone else that afternoon. Son goes to tell neighbour the news... (Not pleasant)
For months it was then banded around that the Son, (me) had "gone back on his word and is a time waster."

I sold some silage to a neighbour. I wish I hadn't. But a deals a deal even if it hurts.
At least you told said farmer they may be for sale and let him know straight away they weren’t , I never heard anything from enquiring For three weeks to pass and field baled.
I do feel sorry for the son as he was only trying to put right a little white lie he told me a month or so earlier , as it seems the younger brother and mother to dismiss totally our conversation on a deal , lost nothing yep but very surprised given they farm just up the road and have used them in the past for baling etc and always got on very well as I thought , must be something we don’t know about and it will stay that way.
As for others on this thread being owed money by other members I can’t get my head around that , a deal is a deal , get paid up.

did u not cut and bale the hay?
No , they cut and baled , her point was that in the mean time from agreeing a figue with the son per bale we had the start of the hot dry period and that its worth more now

Tricky situation.
Best to offer the current price and show you werent trying to take advantage of the son.
The mother will be thinking that.
Or just walk away and put it down to experience.
can you welch on forward selling of grain know a few this year who wish they could
Point I made to them , sold some forward forward here verbally , it went last week.
What I willl be doing , not worth the hassle , they know what was said so they have to live with that I don’t.
