[QUOTE="bgm, post: 303594, member: 1754"] I agree that you can buy it alot of times cheaper than you can grow it, pay for fuel and equipment. For instance, I talked with the guy I buy my hay from last year. He was selling the hay for $20.00 for a 1500 lb bale. He said that his costs to put it up counting leasing the hay field, fertilizer, fuel, etc. was $16.75 per bale. This year he was embarrassed to tell me he had to go up to $30.00 a bale because of high fuel prices. It's good quality brome, and I don't think I'd try to do it for what he's getting, especially if I was having to pay for the equipment on top of everything. You have to put up alot of hay to justify those costs. Put a pencil to it before you make a decision. [/QUOTE]
