Heck don't be sorry I've done it many a time. Don't know how population is around there but have a guy down the road who has two corn maze he runs around holloween. He gets five bucks a heads and pulls about 5000 people plus sells pumpkins corn shaucks and such. He truck farms in the season. You do the math! If you are around a race horse track like we are good hay sells for top dollar in late winter and spring 4.00 + a bale if it's good hay. That huning thing is a good idea too. If you've got lots of woods lease some out to a club. If it's a good hunting area and you know anything about butchering the price of a cut up deer now is about 50 min. bucks. A small building, cooler and word of mouth makes big $. Local place here does 200+ deer= 10,000 +. Sell off some timber but do everything you can to hold that farm. We are a breed that is not long for the world. Folks just don't have interest in stuff like that anymore. Sorry so wordy, just tryin to help.

$4.00 + for a bale of hay?!?! Where is this at and what size of bales are we talking about. I know of some 1st crop alfalfa that was never rained on that's for sale. When I go out to California the 1st of March it might be worth loading up the trailer.

Thats a reasonable price around a horse track. There are two in this area and at the local hay sale folks were buying timothy alfalfa #50 for 6.00 as fast as they could.

Just sold my last 50 bales of timothy for $4.00, at the barn, central KY, 50# squares pretty nice. Still may be a long time until spring. Sold 18 loads of 50 bales at the race track for $8.00, cash, never took more than 15 mins (only race 2x per yr but fun while it lasts).

I have a friend in Florida he tells me when every thing burns up down there he has seen hay as high as $14 a bale. He tells me there is more horses in Florida than any where in the US.He says they bring hay from Canada on contract.They haul hay down and produce back.

There are a couple of good homesteading & country living forums that would love to chat about it:

And something like countrybynet.com, not sure if that is right....

Mother Earth News also has a discussion area.

Lucky to get $2.50 for good alfalfa here.

Last year good enough ditch hay brought 35 cents at an auction I was at.

Hay is a good crop, but no one is frantic about getting it in southern MN, that's for sure.
