Plenty of good netwrapped 5x6 bales going for $40-$50. Always fun to see all that hay selling for less than it costs me to put up my own after fertilizer, fuel/wear and tear/rent.
From a FB group. “Anyone having trouble getting paid for custom work?”
Yea i'm definitely doing all the work and overpaying for the hay i'm putting up and buying the shares, but at least i know what i have and all but a handful of bales was put up good and early, no rain and fertilized with some red clover in there as well. I rent little patches from neighbors and have been paying $25/bale for their 50% share for 4x5's they split the fertilizer bill 50% too. Is it too much? Sure, but it helps them out and there are years it really helps me out this year just isn't one of them.
What’s the price of hay in your area?
