[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1768472, member: 19817"] "Running the numbers" may say that its better to buy or pay someone to make your hay if you do less than xxx bales a year. But that assumes you can find good quality hay to buy at a reasonable price within a reasonable distance, or that there is someone available to custom bale for you when the hay is ready. Those are all big hurdles in some parts of the country. For instance within 150 miles of me its mostly small farms that produce enough hay for themselves and maybe sell 20-50 extra bales a year. So if a guy wanted to buy in say 400 bales a year I'd have to buy from 10-15 suppliers and truck hay as far as 100 miles. That gets very costly to do. [/QUOTE]
