[QUOTE="Calhoun Farm, post: 1105671, member: 19637"] Would someone care to explain why feeding more hay is frowned upon in terms of cost? We can bail all our pastures twice each year for under $500. That includes mowing, raking, bailing each time. This also includes fueling 2 tractors and buying twine. The article posted above makes it out to be bad if you have to store hay or even feed alot of it. I've done more reading in the past year than ever before in terms of farming (medicating, buying/selling, marketing, costs, etc). I even attended and graduted master beef, and after all this "some" of the information I've read/been given seems to be left field and surprisingly comes from universities trying to get farmers to change to their way of thinking. Information is a good thing don't get me wrong, but just because Missouri, TN, TX whomever suggests it doesn't make it right IMO. This isn't meant to be a rant, but I just feel each farmer should make up his own mind and do things how he wants. Not to be brain washed by some AG teacher sitting behind a desk writing "how to's" on farming. [/QUOTE]
