Little River, TX | You have one answer over on Hay Talk, but I will add a little extra.
In 1953 we determined we were making more net income with alfalfa than with cotton. Then cotton was $0.42/lb and alfalfa was going for $22.50?ton.
On average this has remained true.
One advantage with alfalfa HERE is it is all sold retail not shipped of at wholesale prices.
There is a danger getting out of hay and later coming back in. Your customers base will have change supplier.
A bonus for me is loading 40 bales on some dude's PU and his sweat thing asking just how old am I. I like their reaction when I tell them I already celibrated my 87th birthday.
Probably will retire when I am 95. Possibly go back to college for one or more Graduate Degrees.
55 lb bales at $10/bale is $350/Ton retail. | |
