[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 26330"] A couple years back I was at a grazing conference and one of the speakers said he didn't do hay and listed his reasons. They made sence to me. I went home sharpened my pencil and as a result got out of the hay business. Things to consider. If you don't bale hay you will still have the grass. How many more cattle can you run and how much will you make on them? Are there other sources of cheap hay in your area. In my area every year for the last four years I have bought hay cheaper than I could make it. But that will depend on your area. The nutrients brought on to your farm in the hay end up on your pastures in the form of manure. So there is a fertilizer savings to you. Let someone else buy the fertilizer that ends up on your field. And the biggest one was this guy said was that if he did hay it would dramatically change his families life style in the summer. So how much is your time worth? I really enjoy the time I now get to spend in the summer doing something other than haying. Life is too short to work 24/7 in a hay field. Dave [/QUOTE]
