[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1807437, member: 18945"] My experience in E. Texas and small hayfields is finding someone to cut and bale it. Hay equipment is expensive and hay folks would much rather cut a big field than try to move in on a small field, even on a share basis. The real $$ IMO, is in small sq bales to sell to the hobby horse crowd. The bales I once bought for$3/bale were going for $15 and up last I checked, and that was in a non-drought year. But, not many sq balers running down in San Jac county nowadays. Pay attention to Walker County ag exemption rules since you have a mixed property of woods and open space. If they haven't already gone to requiring 75% of the ag exemption land be open space for cattle production, it's coming. San Jacinto county went that route in 2021 and had begun to enforce it before I left in 2022. [/QUOTE]
