[QUOTE="TN B&B, post: 844421, member: 16921"] First off i would like to say hello. I am new to the board. I live in TN. My dad has farmed his whole life. He passed away a little over a month ago. I have worked off and on with him my whole life. You know how it is on a farm. I have taken over the responsibility of managing our family farm now. My question is this. What does it currently cost to produce a small(50lbs or so) square bale of hay? We have about 35 acres of Tifton 44. My dad has been reluctant to go up in price through the years. I am trying to figure out what it actually cost us to produce a square bale of hay. Diesel has gone up, labor, fertilizer, twine, parts, equipment, etc. You name it, it has gone up. The cost to produce it keeps going up. We cut with a disc mower, go over it a couple times with a tedder, then rake it and bale it. I'm just trying to see what our costs are to produce hay. I plan on eventually figuring out what we have in a square bale of hay. I just wanted to know if anyone out there can help me out. Thanks, B&B Farms. [/QUOTE]
