Hay Prices?!?!?! What are you paying?

[that's*satyrical]

Paid $6.99 for a bale of coastal at the tractor supply store. Still looking for a place that's selling it for less, but if I don't find it I may go back for more of that. The price is not too bad.

We might be getting about 1-200 bales of alfalfa at about 2.50 a bale. I am over the moon excited. It's a "Buy out the wagon" price.

wow how are yall getting hay so cheap?

this is for Alfalfa and coastal hay its what most people carry out here.
Here its 13.00 for a square bale
75.00 for a round bale

Is there any where in Texas that sells for less?

Location, location, location. TX = drought this year WV = right mix of rain and sun this year. Next year we'll get the drought and you'll get the rain.

Anywhere that either has had a bad time with drought or any amount of flooding will be outrageously priced right now. TX(drought) & VT(severe flooding) are mostly having to import their hay from other states. Almost all the towns in VT were told to till all of their crops under and wait until next year. The hay isn't even good for mulch(due to the various pathogens & evil bacterias that they absorbed)

Then of course, let us not forget that a massive amount of our nation's alfalfa was bought by some sheik over seas.... which depletes the amount available for ourselves, which raises cost even more... hhh... don't you just LOVE that whole supply vs demand thing...

we get our regular 70-80 ib bales for a little over a dollar a bale and alfalfa/clover mix for 3 dollars a bale

I just got as much hay as my 20ft trailer and truck could hold, almost 3 ton. At $2 per bale.

$145/ton for 2nd or 3rd cutting alfalfa here in my part of Ohio. It is high quality hay, so I think I'm getting a pretty good price. Of course there are hay fields all around me, so it's plentiful.
