Good Hay Crop (Pics Added)

[MikeC]

Just left a hayfield that is almost exactly one section. The guy told me he just rolled up 3800 bales in it and from the looks I believe it. Do the math. (Coincidentially, they're 5 1/2 X 5 bales)

I'll put up pics tomorrow.

That's a beautiful sight. Nothing quite like bales of hay in a field.

Looks like the grass will be ready to cut again by the time he gets the bales picked up. :lol2:

How many acres make up a "section"?

 

[gertguy]

Thats what my oats this year. About a bale every 150 ft

That's a heck of a hay field. I don't envy him having to move it all and from the looks of the oncoming grass he best get on the move.

How many acres make up a "section"?

A section of land is 640 acres or 1 mile square

Just west of Montgomery. Matter of fact, it's in the Montgomery city limits.

He's been offered $200,000.00 for the whole field of hay, depending on the test results, but kind of iffy about it thinking he may not get another cutting. No rain in the last 3 weeks.......................

Thats a lot of bales. 8)

 

[bigbull338]

the guy has $100,000 just in baling alone.an 80 tons of fert at $48000.so he would barely be making $50,000.

 

[Earl Thigpen]

3800 bales X $100/bale = $380,000.00. Not bad for one cuttin'.

Mike with no rain it is looking like another dry year but that snould be enough to hold you through the summer.
