Guess I should have added that I have sold some hay at my price recently. The cold and looming drought has brought hay prices up. If it is an average year I will end up with some outside hay at end of summer.

Went ahead and locked it up for another year. We are in d2 drought now and may be a good year to have extra hay ground.

I am with you 1982, no way I am gonna sell hay for break even... I've probably miscounted with my math skills on the break even too..

I have a good truck but I am sort of a weekend warrior. Time is my biggest enemy!

No advice, but a question. What advantage would you have with that much hay? I understand the point of "can't have too much hay", but at some point that has to be off base, the question at some point has to be "can you have too much hay?". HD I am thinking the same as you, but I have been the...

I put a lot of hay up last year. So much hay that my barns will still be pretty much full still when hay season arrives this year. I was planning on letting some lease ground go but the owner is really wanting me to cut again. I am sort of in the mindset that you can never have enough hay!! But...

Just about finished first cut. What a year so far! I have rolled 990 4x5s so far this year. Last year on same ground 550 rolls. A little rain makes a big difference! I also contribute some difference to adding elevated skid shoes to my disc mower last year. Very thankful.

My fescue has started heading out also, within last week. We are still in drought, but got 1.75 of rain in last few days! May cut hay Sunday/Monday. That would be first ever hay, cut on my farm in April!

I am in same boat as kilroy, and trying to figure a way to stretch hay too. Would hay and 5pd of corn gluten WORK?

Thanks for all the input. I am in north ga and my main grass is fescue. I am going to check on some raised skid shoes for my mower and increase my cutting height.

Fescue- clover hay.

Been talking to some other hay producers about how high to mow hay. Whats yalls opinion? I think about 2 inches of stubble is good.

Thanks for info. I am gonna check on rup license.

Either one will work. PM me some info.

Can I buy 24D in bulk online? Website?

Thanks for the responses! I am selling some hay 4x5 rolls around 900 pd. So far with my pencil It comes out well over 20 to produce without labor cost figured and I am gonna figure it in! Ive had some say I was holding ppl up and I have explained they need to check their pencil.

What are the cost factors that should be calculated when producing hay? 1 fuel 2 fertilize 3 twine 4 hauling 5 labor 6 what else? What's some prices on these items? Just trying to see if im losing money on selling hay?

Thanks for the info, the survey is in line with my thinking.

Whats the going price to cut hay with disc mower, per hour hour? or per acre? Tedder? Rake? Roll 4x5s?

I have a BR 7060 silage special, its been a real baler so far!
