[QUOTE="Lon, post: 899197, member: 16174"] Why would people give that 3 to 4 hundred for decent or even 150 for the cornstalks. I know of a guy with roughly 240 ton of hay left that hasnt sold yet. It is 50/50 alfalfa grass hay maybe more than that even on alfalfa that told me to sell it all for 200 a ton if i remember right. Now this is about 500 miles from ft. collins though. I could be wrong on the trucking here so tell me if i am wrong but say you get a semi pulling a trailer and a pup i would think they could haul 50 bales each weighing 1200lbs. this would be 30 ton. 500 miles @4/mile is another $2000 that would be 8000 for 30 ton delivered wich comes out to 266 a ton. Wouldnt that be better than corn stalks with all the waste there is there and would be way better than over 300 ton. This would be same kind of hay we have wintered on. and that would be including the 25 a ton he offered me if i sold any. I never did ask around cause didnt think people would pay that for hay. So you take the 25 a ton off that i would get in comission (mostly just cause i like to believe if i wasnt profiting off poeple in a bad spot than somewhere along the way karma would pay me back by someone helping me) that would put the same 30 ton delieverd for a price of 241 and some change per ton. 30tonx175=5250+2000 for trucking(500 miles@4/mile)=7250/30 241.666666 per ton. unless i am off on the trucking wich very well could be.
