The Rural Voice, 2005-04, Page 37the net benefit of additional revenue
from Slots goes to the rural
community.
Paul Lindsey, a vice-president of
the association and a horse
owner himself, said the
industry has had a 100-200 per cent
increase in gross revenues through
the new influx of money.
Owners are paying $4 for high
quality, green small square bales free
of mould and dust.
Some trainers are starting to use
big square bales and large round
bales are useful on breeding fauns.
Still the best money is in small
square bales which make up 80-90
per cent of the market, Lindsey said.
"There's a labour factor but
you're going to get paid for it," he
said. "We're all used to hard work."
While trainers are paying as much
at $10 a bale in Florida, Lindsey said
that with tracks and associated
training centres spotted across
Ontario, the Ontario market is much
closer at hand and profitable. If you
don't have transportation, there are
reputable dealers that can help you
get your hay to these high profit
markets, he said.°
