Haying CRP ground this year?

Need some details...

Neighbor has some pretty good grass in CRP. County recently declared we can cut 50% of it per FSA rules due to the drought. He loses 10% per hayed acre and can lease the rights to hay to me. Unclear if I can then sell it. I probably need all of it for my cattle, however.

He usually pays someone to bushhog the ground once a year.

If you are haying CRP, what deals are you making... how much to lease it, etc.

If he has been paying someone to bushog it, that should improve the quality of the hay and it would be only fair for you to reimburse him for that. My understanding is that FSA has not set an upper limit on what the livestock producer pays the owner.
 

I got some CRP that was in before I got here. Can't get out afforably, so it stays in until fall 2015. I'm gonna go halves with the guy baling it. I pay to get it out. He cuts, rakes, bales, and leaves half of them. You could go on halves with him and then buy his half. 100-125 a ton is probably fair. People are talking $400 a ton for dairy hay. I've never seen hay sell that high here.
 
I did some CRP hay in 2002. At that time there was no rate reduction. I did not own the land or the CRP contract. On the sheet I signed at the FSA office it stated that the hay had to be for my own use. I am not real clear on this one but, I think the sheet also said I could not sell any other hay until a specified date. I didn't pay real close attention cuz I just don't ever sell anything.
 
Read somewhere, either a flyer from the state ag department or in the Farm Bureau paper that you can't sell the hay and will suffer a 10% reduction in CRP payments. No livestock other than the local wildlife so I'll pass.
