CNY | Not trying to be a jerk, but this is the problem with hay.
When it's short, the price goes up but the freight to get it where it needs to go eats your profit up. When everyone has it, you basically give it away. We used to bale a lot of hay and put it in barns and try to deal with brokers. Not worth the hassle. Now I grow alfalfa instead and sell it directly to a dairy. They mow and chop. It's one of the most profitable crops I have. Couple small grass patches from neighbors and landlords I bale for my small beef herd. Unless you have a direct market to an end user, seems like you just get taken advantage of and it's just an exercise in frustration wearing yourself and your equipment out and fighting the weather all summer | |
