[QUOTE="Iowa237, post: 355214, member: 6055"] Whenever, if ever, you can sell that kind of hay for $40/bale or more you should! But in my opinion, hold on to it! With the current grain market, we are going to see more sod busted this year for corn production! Then on top of that with the mild drought we had last summer hay production was down. Last winter I bought all the hay I wanted for $50/ton ($25/$30bale grass/alfalfa) Now you cant touch it for that! My neighbor is selling truck loads of alfalfa round bales for 185.00/ton. His 1,800 bale inventory is about gone (Good Hay 28% protein)! Some of my hay ground is getting old, but I'm going to keep it in production and I'm going to seed more down. My beleif is that I can make more money selling hay than I can raising corn! Though alot think I'm dumb for thinking that! If your hay is keeping good I truely think that next winter you will be able to set your price and cash in!? But that's why I love farming... You never KNOW what's going to happen! I know 4 guys looking for hay to finish this year out, that also burndowned 25% of their hay ground for corn production for 2007!!!??? And they think I'm dumb! I'd be happy to set you up with them if you are wanting to sell it now! Otherwise I'll sell them hay late this summer... for an over inflated price!!! But that's JUST my opinion! Good Luck? [/QUOTE]
