Hay prices are set locally by the supply in your area and the need for it.
Around here rolls of Bahia grass hay goes for $20 to $40 depending on size and quality. We truck alfalfa in from southern OK (600 miles) so it gets pricy. over $7.00 a 50 lb bale; less if you buy in quanity.
This year we seem to have a good supply of grass hay BUT if it does not get cool fast we will be in trouble and hay will go through the roof!!!
To explain--- Dairy farm neighbor just tilled under 100 acres of green grass and planted Rye grass for winter grazing. (normal practice for our area) We got a rain and a cool snap and it came up just right. Then now it has been hot and it is dying. If it does not get cool quick he will have 100 acres of dirt and will need to reseed and start over again. Spelled NEED HAY NOW!!!!
