I'm probably not that far away from your area, 25 miles from Bennington. $3-$4 and up seems to be typical, depending how it is etc. etc. etc. I do know that the horse industry has established itself in Florida in the Wellington area and other regions and that high quality hay does get shipped in, from Colorado and areas similar where the weather seems to cooperate for good hay production, they pay a premium for it, but it's not like they even feel the pinch of that cost. The way I see it, you need to make a contact in that sector or similar where the money is and the desire for top quality hay is in demand, sell them on it, then be able to produce it and arrange shipping, while also being able to deal with the weather, equipment, baling and any help you may need to get it done. Between all the horse farms, and show circuits there has to be a market, but it's really hard to say how much you could sell and what the end result will be profit wise, I'm sure there will be some good discussion on this one.
