SuperDave,
Depends on the hay. We got an excellent stand this year and averaged 7, 1200-1300 lb bales per acre. It was rye/tim/og/clover/fescue mix. Have got as low as 5 from the same fields. Depends on spring rains and soil condition. Price depends on where you are...around here $20-22.00 per bale. Larger bales garners upwards of $25.00....if it is good hay.

It really depends on the pasture and the baler, as in brand and size of bales. Last year we got 89 bales the 1st cutting off of 30 acres, this year off the same field we only got 49. The rains last year and perfect timing of fertilizer application made all the difference.
