[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 623710, member: 1715"] I buy most of my hay and that is the delivered cost. If I grew hay and owned a full line of newer equipment it would cost more. I do have an older swather so I can have some bales rolled each year for $8 each rather than clipping. I should have included a cost for covering hay or a weathering loss like Adam did. I usually use rings and poly twine for bale grazing. Calculating fertilizer value of the hay manure takes a couple numbers: 1) lbs/ton for N,P,K The amount of leaves and where you feed it make a difference. Ideally you have leafy hay with a higher fertilizer content and feed it in the field so the urine soaks in. I can dig if you want more lb/ton estimates. 2) $/lb for N,P,K 3) multiply each element and add up the 3 numbers for a value per ton [/QUOTE]
