[QUOTE="1wlimo, post: 858798, member: 16646"] I think that there are a lot of people makingh hay that do not really have much idea of the real cost to them. They should include a rental equivalent (even when they on the land), fertiliser costs, but also the reseeding costs and establisment of the hay sward. This is a high cost here as an alfalfa sward is only really productive for five years, maybe six. Then there is the cost of haying, wich should included the feul, labour, repairs etc, but also the cost of replacing the machinery. There is also then the oppertunity cost of the money invested in the whole opperation (land, crop, machines). Here where a lot of people will only get the one cut this year, and have on some quaters not cut the whole area they would normally puts the real cost of the hay up. Ture costs for some will be $60 a bale or higher, that would be around the $90 a ton with the hay still in the field. [/QUOTE]
