[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 565362, member: 6797"] Any time you got hay put up you got a good yield - however you need to weigh that hay - if dry it may be less than you think. We sold more than 3000 - 5 foot round bales of alfalfa, clover and grass last winter - baled by three different balers - they ran about 850 - 875 on average when we put them over the scales. The squares usually ran around 100 pounds to the foot if I remember correctly. I know you can get higher and I know you can get lower weights - and I also know moisture plays a big roll. Load one into your truck and drive to the nearest scale - weigh it out and then weigh the truck at a later date - give you a better idea for next year. Well done on getting in that hay! Goal? Well, let me see - if I had it my way I would love to get 10 bales to an acre - but God, mother nature and other factors always seem to get in the way. :D Bez+ [/QUOTE]
