I have been running some rough numbers on the possible profits of a small hay business. I know this is a very loaded question and hard to answer but is there any rough numbers hay growers shoot for to profit of an acre per year? The numbers I have come up with for a good coastal field is around $100 for round bales and $300 for square bales of profit for acre. These are the numbers I am using.
5000lb per of hay per acre
$60 fertilizer per acre
$8 an acre weed spray
$60 round bales
$6 square bales
$25 round baler charge
$1 square baler charge
$1 square bale stack
