am i reading your post right.your buying hay for $22 a bale to your place.thats not even covering the cost of baling cost of standing grass or a small fee for putting it up to your barn.cypressfarms":3lfu34dx said:I feel guilty. Just talked to my "hay" guy today about the up-coming year. We always talk price once per year, usually early spring, and then don't discuss it again until the following year. This year will be $20-$22 per 4x5 bale delivered next to my barn....but the pasture he makes the hay for me is adjacent to my property, so he'd rather drop it at my barn then load it on a trailer and haul off. Good guy; we normally "horse trade" calves/heifers back and forth. This is for mixed Bermuda/Bahia. I've also sent him a bunch of business; I guess he figures he can just break even with my small needs.
