[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 935466, member: 7795"] Depends on other hay availability and what it costs...(seed $80 an acre? Fertilizer $40 an acre?) Then do you think it will rain enough to grow anything worth cutting...(baling $25?) You will need about 6-8 inches over 10-12 weeks for it to grow well. So you roughly have $30 a bale in seed and fertilizer plus baling cost (25) in each bale @ 4 bales to the acre... or $55....@ 2 bales an acre you have a cost of about $85 a bale which is still $30 cheaper than what many paid for "hay" in this area last year... Two years ago it rained in September and it grew well into December....so your guess is as good as mine as what to do. [/QUOTE]
