[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 687082, member: 8829"] Nope not what I was getting at I was just trying to get financial info on the cost per acre to bale around here i can usually get 5 - 1100-1220 lb green bales per acre (950-1000# cured) on an ok field most of mine will yield 6-7 bales per acre on average have baled as high as 9 bales per acre and as little as 2 also in our part of the country you can let bale it early and get fescue at 14% protein or bale it a little later and get 10-11% protein and a 1/3 more production I would rather have 1300 bales of 10-11% proten hay than a 1000 bales of 14% also I can't cut all of mine early enough to get it at the 14% level because of weather If I want a higher protein hay I plant the haybeans and millet and rye my alfalfa produces about 1.6tons per acre per cutting and I get 3-4 cuttings I use grass hay as the filler and I supplement with protein tubs if I feel I need more rotein it is cheaper in the long run than trying to raise higher protein hay [/QUOTE]
