[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1566364, member: 1715"] You see some interesting hay sites here. One has a big hay shed between two fields, with inline wrapped round bales on both sides the hay shed. :nod: The hay shed is partially full of equipment and big squares. A new development is building "drying sheds" for large squares of alfalfa. Not sure what the payback is, but dairy quality alfalfa is currently selling for U$S 2/point at auction. Hay shed economics get very clear as hay price increases. I tried to get some estimates of what cow hay will be worth next winter. Feel free to chime in. My not so scientific survey results were: - $5 per bale higher than average - depends on the amount of winter kill - too much - $100 per ton Where it really gets ugly is for grass finishing folks who buy their hay in...
