The costs to cut,rake and bale here in NC is around $.75 per bale. Since this is nonirrigated land two cuttings are reasonable. You did not state the type of grass that you would be harvesting.

Cattle producers will not want to pay more than $1.25 per square bale. Best other outlet will be hobby farmers.
