[QUOTE="stocky, post: 200685, member: 1150"] I dont think anyone will actually price the new hay crop until we see how good the crop is. I pay from 12-18 for hay every June. I figure if I have to pay over 25, it cuts too deep into the cow profit and I am better off not to buy the cows than to donate the work with 25 plus dollar hay. I think hay will start out on the high price side and then will get cheaper if there is a good crop and higher if there is a poor crop. There are two things to consider in the hay price. What the seller has in the hay in expenses plus a little profit is one consideration and the most important one is what the limit that the buyer will pay or do without. It doesnt matter what the seller's expenses are if the buyer can only pay a certain amount or do without. That is what determines the market. Some people will hold their hay for 25 dollars and let it rot rather than take less while others will sell it for 15 rather than hold it over and get nothing for it [/QUOTE]
