Baling your own hay will require a large investment in equipment for only 27 acres. Will you need to do custom baling to pay off the investment?
Where are you located? If you are located in a humid area it could also require a substantical commitment of your time so you are ready to harvest when the weather allows. Unless you are a full time farmer or are retired it will mean burning many vacation days on short notice to cut and bale hay whenever the weather allows.
Will you have the capacity to put up the entire 27 acres in one day (cut one day & then bale it all two or three days later) or would you need to stagger it in smaller portions (cut in the mornings for several days and then bale in the afternoons for several more days)?
Have you looked into cash renting out your ground and then buying your hay else where during the summer months? That sounds counter-intuitive, but crunch the numbers. You might be able to have your hay needs delivered for less cost than you will receive in rent. You could have extra money in your pocket without investing anything in equipment or providing any labor. Of course you would miss out on all the "fun, risk, and drama" that goes with pulling up hay.

Flax provided the fibre which w
