Rolled my hay yesterday. 95% coastal, 5% Johnson grass. Still rocking an old John Deere 530 baler. So string tied but the big bales, not the small ones lots of people are making. Have checked internet, but can’t get a good idea what a fair price per bale would be. Not fertilized this year thanks to Beijing Biden, and no weeds. What you say all mighty THF wise men…..

What do they weigh on average?

I use a Kubota 4x4 M5700 to move and stack bales. Not weighted or fluid in rear tires. Can move them individually using FEL, but always works better picking up a bale on rear forks to move across pasture and stack.

Fertilizer is so high, hay has to go up.

Fertilizer and diesel are both up. I expect prices to be quite a bit higher unless we get some really good rains and it helps on the supply end.

We make our own and buy some. We just bought some 4x5 rolls for $50/. I don’t know about the fertilizer, my son made the deal. I put chicken litter on my hay patches, I usually use commercial fertilizer with it, but not this year These crazy prices are manufactured by a bunch of lunatics running our country.

I have no idea how much they go for on the retail end, but we recently had our place cut. The guy that cut it paid $5 per bale. All we did was watch it grow. no fertilizer, no herbicide, no tractor work, and no hauling.

(round bales) Last year I got $40 a bale, which was market value. This year, I expect it to rise significantly.

With it not being fertilized I'd say $50 a roll. I personally wouldn't buy unfertilized hay, just not enough nutrition in it.

Understand, have religiously fertilized for last 20-25 years, thanks to Beijing Biden, and fertilizer at $1200 a ton, not going to happen. Have only seen one person in the area fertilize this year. Not sure where he got his fertilizer, or what he put out, but acre to acre, I baled more than he did.

I’d wager that coastal or jiggs true 5x6 will bring $75 in the Van Zandt/Smith/Hopkins/Wood county area. Probably more and that’s not fertilized but good clean hay. That’s based on it being below average rainfall so far this year and expected fairly dry summer.
With high fertilize costs and low rainfall expect it to get stupid.

I rolled almost 2000 bales last year and my average price was $65.00 for 5x5 net wrapped. Some was sprayed and fertilized, some wasn’t. Sold every bale I had. This year I’ll have less bales based on first cutting and I’m starting at $80 a bale. Loading some in an hour as a matter of fact. Anyone that has hay in February will be naming their price.

Dont know much about hay but thinking about cutting the pipeline and high lines on the deer lease this year. What is the going rate for having it cut? Probably 1and half miles of pipeline and at least that much highline . Just looking to pay deer lease money and corn money not trying to get rich. Just hate to see it wasted when the pipeline crew shreds it later this summer.

I talked a friend that bails up near Greenville recently who said they were getting $90.00 for fertilized bails.

Same here. I did not fertilize this Spring. The math don’t work. x2 I've seen this coming, so experimented with crimson clover this past fall/early spring. Based on test results, I plan to drill in inoculated seed this coming fall. Done right & inoculated, crimson clover can add 200# nitrogen per acre to the soil per season, & reseed itself timed just right.

Will try again this year.
