just thought i would shoot a photo of a local hay hauler that has bought alot of hay off me this year. two hundred bales on this trailer at about 75lbs each. seems to get up and go once out on the road. stick shift and it had the quad cab doors that open up. he bought a half load of rained on alfalfa and a half load of no rained on alfalfa. sorry i posted in wrong section could you move this.

 

How much you getting for a bale of alfalfa out there if you don't mind me asking?

 

Alfalfa/grass mix here in ut I paid 120 a ton Straight #1 alfalfa 160. Last year the mix was 95. The increase is due to dry weather and fires, so they say.

 

I have a friend who just sold all her cattle. She's selling 85 bales of this years brome, 36 bales of this years prairie, 13 bales of clean fescue, 30 bales of last years brome (stored in the barn) located 15 miles east of Garnett, Ks. Probably weigh 1200-1300# each.

 

well the once rained on stuff is 5 bucks a bale the nice green stuff 7 bucks and they are 75 lbs. i sell timothy for 7.50 a bale 70lbs or so . our central oregon hay which is the grass green in the bale and in the photo runs 175 a ton it is orchard grass.

 

Wow 75lbs, and to think I complained about the 100-110 lbs bales, thats alot more twine and diesel pickin' up all those bales. Everything used to be 130-135lbs except feed store hay. Prices are min $160 a ton with good alfalfa/orchard mix and clean test hay going even higher

 

Three strand is $13.00 (130-160 lbs.) per bale here. Good 2 strand (75 lbs) is $6.50. Or about $ 165 per ton. Darries drive the cost up here.
