While back I made a post saying that I was offering some hay for sale, and that the local market was hot . Some fellas thought that I was exaggerating , and that the price of hay couldn't be as high as I was stating. I was offering premium quality second and third cut 4x4 wrapped hay for $100.00 per bale , and second cut grass hay for $70.00 per bale . Well I had one fellow come in with his feed dealer , and they took samples of the grass hay , and sent them off to be tested . Yesterday he called me and told me he would take all I had to sell. I would sure hate to be paying out this kind of $$ for hay , but some how , I don't mind selling it at this price. Guy buying the hay is local , and can only haul 5 bales per load, these things weigh like crazy, so he will pay as he picks them up. Big straw bales are selling at $30-35.00 per bale .Should have sold the cows , and just sold hay,lol. I don't see how anybody can pay these kind of prices for hay, but paying $10,000. pr acres for land blows me away too, so maybe I am just getting too old and out of touch. Bruce
