Steve in MN said: (quoted from post at 01:37:58 01/18/08) I'll go along with JT. If you got horse people in the area, hay is a good way to go. Only need to buy seed the first year, a little fertilizer each year after. A little riskier because of the weather concerns when it's time to bale. But $$'s per acre of return will be pretty good.
If you don't mind or can stand not having an income for a year or two, don't mind rotary mowing and spraying, and want good hay, consider perrinial peanuts. They are a sprigged hay crop, full of protien, and are not shatterprone as long as they are not tedded. We sprigged 5 acres 2 years ago and have $250 an acre sprigged, plus 4 sprays each year at $150 each, and mowing inbetween. They are a very competive crop when established, just slow to establish. Our neighbor, who grows them, makes $5 a square bale, with no shipping costs, and I hear people in Florida, especially around Ocala, giving $8 to$9 a bale. Horses love it, goats and cattle love it, and can even be used with hogs. If yo can't wait, make bermueda grass hay. Just A Thought.
