It used to be like that with hay. If you got it recent, it was cheaper. If you g
ot it off-season, sellers thought you were buying because you were low on suppli
es and tried to squeeze as many EUR as they could out of you.
The end result is lots of shepherds, cowboys and horse aficionados ended up sett
ing their own fields because they got tired of dealing with this crap.
Wood fire is not popular for house heating in Spain, though. Firewood is regarde
d as a poorman's resource. Nearly everybody uses gas for house heating, or fuel-
oil. People who wants solid fuels tend to use pellets, which are a bit of a scam
if you ask me.
I burn horse poop because I am a cheap ass. \o/
