[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 811063, member: 15537"] This has been a very intersting thread. I did the math a few years back and it just doesn't pay for me to have the haying equipment and set land aside to make hay. I only spend around $1500 a year on hay; haying equipment would run at least $15,000 (that is all used and old). So that would be a 10 year payback just on the equipment, not even looking at fuel, fertilizer, twine, so forth and so on. Probably closer to a 15 year payback if I actually figured the rest in. Just doesn't work out for my size of operation. I am sure for some of you it is the only way to go. I think AC was right on figuring you would need to be using around a couple hundred bales to pay for that equipment. [/QUOTE]
