One man I buy hay from had to cut all his buyers off he feeds 10-11 rollsa day and said he had to keep all he has or he's gonna run out.farmerjan said:I feel for you guys. We had all the rain too, but did manage to get quite a bit of hay made although some is not the greatest due to over maturity, but it got made dry. We have had people calling looking for hay. My son has been selling some right along as we have over 400 rolls of 2 yr old hay that we are trying to get fed out. Mostly to the dry cows that are out on some halfway decent pasture that wasn't grazed after about July or August. There is some waste on the outside, but the cows seem to be eating it pretty good. It was made right and we just had a whole lot of extra that year that didn't sell and we had grass. Since we have lost 2 places this past year, and will be losing our heifer place April 1st, we will be needing more hay with less grass to put them out to. But we have cut our numbers some too. We do plan to try to make a significant number MORE of small square bales due to demand. With less places to travel to, and fewer pastures to be checking on, we hope to do a better job of making hay. IF the weather will halfway co-operate. And I am hoping that we will be able to wrap some this year if we get the rain, but can't always get the guy to come wrap when we need to. A wrapper is not in the budget at this time.
