[QUOTE="stocky, post: 201231, member: 1150"] Double K, You are definitely cheaper with your custom cutting and baling than around me. Last year, these guys got 14 for 4x5 bales and 16 for 4x6 bales. They will add a couple of dollars per bale more this year with the diesel prices higher. I learned a long time ago that you can't buy hay from someone who hires their hay cut and baled. Most farmers (including me) will not lose money in anything they price to sell. So, when you drive by big round bales of hay that are 2, 3, 4, or more years old and rotten, it will usually be someone who hired their hay put up and decided it would rot before they would sell it at a loss. I buy all my hay from people who put up their own hay because they dont have 15 dollars actual cash already in the bale that they paid to someone else. I do not understand how the people who pay 25 or more for hay can do it. It just adds up to too much money where I am to feed for 110 days per year at those prices. [/QUOTE]
