[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 28794, member: 43"] If he sells for $30 in the fall I rather doubt that he would sell for $15 now, but it's worth a try. Around my area we have to pay $16 to $18 to somebody just to cut, rake & bale our own hay. If the first cutting doesn't have too many weeds, flowers and old rotted dry matter from last year in it then I would say go for it, especially if you know that it was fertilized in early spring. Then try to store it such that you avoid contact with the ground (use pallets, old tires, rocks, or whatever) and get a tarp to cover it if you can. Although I try to buy most of my hay later in the summer or fall I think it's good to get some early, as insurance against drought. Several times in recent years I have had to put out hay in the summer when we've gone several months without anything but a light mist, coupled with blistering hot temperatures. [/QUOTE]
