So I bought a 50 acre Deep Fork river bottom hay field in 2011.
2011/2012 were historically dry years in Oklahoma. I got a total of 275 bales off the 50 acres the last two seasons. So far this year, I've baled 304 bales and likely will still get one more cutting before the season is over.
My problem is this is a year when everybody has hay. So I've got about 125 really good 4x5.5 round hay bales that I don't need and I can't find a buyer for. I guess I'll have to hold it over to feed a year from now and just sell more than I usually would in 2014.
From a cash flow perspective, that kind of stinks this year. I guess it will make next summer better...
Talk about going from famine to feast....
