The price of hay is down around here. I know it is the plentiful season but it is cheap even for then. I had a fellow call me wanting me to buy his hay in the field. He had a deal with a guy and had mowed the hay. The buyer was supposed to rake and bale the hay giving the owner so much a ton for the hay. The buyer bought some hay already baled for about half of what he agreed to pay for the mowed hay.
The hay is second cutting alfalfa and orchard grass hay. Real clean too. I offered $25 a ton for it. He jumped on the offer. So I baled it today. 30-35 acres made 74- 1500 LBS. round bales. I already agreed to buy the rest of the cutting for this year. Not bad just three semi loads and only 8 miles away.
Even with grain cheap I like having plenty of hay around. You have a lot of options with livestock if you have the feed. In the drought year of 1988 I had baled a lot of hay the year before and was carrying a lot of year old hay. That enabled me to buy cow/calf pairs when the pastures ran out. Having that hay enabled me to buy them and that profited us enough to pay the farm off in 1989. So I like the barns full. It is like money in the bank to me. It will be there if you need it.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
