[QUOTE="highvoltagecattleco, post: 493018, member: 6225"] You can figure that it will cost you $100 to $130 a ton to put up first year alfalfa. Depending on fuel costs and equipment your input costs will be lower or higher in following years. In Missouri I think your weather might be your biggest obstacle. Alfalfa loves heat and humidity. Unfortunately you have a lot of summer rain and alfalfa doesn't dry real well in humidity. I think you will be way ahead with alfalfa. Rather than pay grain prices. That are not going to go down anytime soon. I would talk to local producers and find out what equipment they use to dry the hay faster to get it in the bale. [/QUOTE]
