[QUOTE="alabama, post: 305670, member: 2218"] I roll my own hay because I just can’t get hay in those dry years. I would much rather buy hay but in a dry year it is way too high if you can find it at all. I only do about 400 rolls a year on a fair year. And that is not enough volume to make money off of hay. This year I only made 198 rolls. This is enough hay for me but I did not have any to sell to help offset cost. Although, I did see a few to some customers that buy from me every year. In a good year I can sell enough to cover the cash cost of parts and fertilizer but in dry years I have to foot the bill but I have good hay to feed this winter. So if you are planning to roll your own hay make sure that you do enough to supply yourself in the dry years and find a market for your excess hay in the good years. Also, you had better be a good mechanic. [/QUOTE]
