[QUOTE="hayray, post: 888872, member: 3046"] An advantage to purchased hay is that it brings nutrients onto your farm. I sell about 700 tons of hay a year but I am buying a lot of hay now that is cheaper then my production costs and have made the decision to keep cows out on leased pastures for the winter and bale graze and get those nutrients onto the fields followed by frost seeding clover and trefoil in March, alot more labor and travel time but it is a long term pasture improvement decision. Purchasing fertilizer for pasture in no way pencils out in my operation, I am curious how you others that fertilize are making it pencil out? [/QUOTE]
