[QUOTE="alabama, post: 172355, member: 2218"] Why not just keep buying the hay that you are getting from him now. I guess it is coming off his land? His fertilizer? His chemicals? If your objective is to get better hay for the same price? I would say improve your own land and let him cut it and a price of $15 to $20 a roll is fair. I charge $20 to custom cut and roll in a 5 x 5 roll. The biggest advantage to cutting and rolling hay yourself is that in those dry years you can still have hay for your cows without paying $80 a roll. But if you have your own hay field and someone else to keep it cut, I would think that was the best way to go if you can get them to cut it when it is ready. [/QUOTE]
