I sold alfalfa silage for $65.. a 4'X 5 ' round bale last fall. Second cut alfalfa hay will go about the same. We will be lucky to get a second cut this year. Have not got a first yet. Stuff does`nt grow very well with out rain.

$75 per 5x5 bale is selling, see it advertised up to $125 but those aren’t selling yet. We are getting 1-2 bales per acre. A normal year is 5-6. A lot of good momma cows are headed to market if we don’t get a rain. Our rain is in a pipe.......

6 bucks or about 150 a ton for small squares is pretty cheap.

1st cut of fescue/orchardgrass, 35 dollars per 4'x5' round bale. We sold some of our first cut fescue/clover, with a little wheat mixed in, for $50 a roll delivered. It was also 4X5 round bales.

Priced from 60. to 100 for 4x5 round bales of mixed grass. Selling mine for $65. here in SW Missouri. Bad year as production down to late winter and lack of rain early on. Prospects for fall cutting are extremely poor. GW

Most of the first cut hay was pretty good here, but prospects for a second cutting vary as we went about a month with no rain. We're slipping into a drought just like we did last year about this time. Hopefully that won't be the case.

I started knocking hay down last Friday and Saturday.
Glad I only cut 35 acres as we got douched out last night and it looks like rain for the next 3-4 days.
We are still feeding about 40 head of late calving cows and just ran out of (2022)alfalfa bales so I baled up 9 bales yesterday at 20-40% moisture. We'll feed them up before they go bad.
Heavy bastards, bet the first ones weigh 1800lbs before I turned down the pressure. It was really nice hay, around 2 ton/acre but it's going to be low quality now. Oh well, we'll take the rain.
Price-wise I see the internet says $250-200/ton.

Here in Oklahoma I get $9 per small square in the field and $200-250 per ton for big rounds. I have 30 or more customers I’m having a hard time supplying. Another 20 on a waiting list. I only have 30 acres. Last 2 years I’ve gotten 6 cuttings although the October is not much.

the 1st cutting is late and just now being cut. We've had a lot of rain and much of the hay got wet. Good stuff is going to be expensive and there will be a lot of crap on the market.

Hay is often the most expensive part of a cattle ration.

We're going to have to hire a plane to spray about 120 acres of hay barley that is getting attacked by hoppers.

We got out little 40 acre patch of silage corn in last Friday.
Dad ran the planter and had it done in a day.
I pre-worked that field twice this spring with a toolbar before we got to it. Weeds, weeds, weeds...
Raining dolla bills again right now.....lol
