Rich, I'm in your exact situation verbatum. I put up about 85 acres of hay in small squares. It was fun and games for awhile, but it has just gotton to be too much. Dealing with the weather, customers, fuel prices, fertilizer prices has just made my business spiral out of control. Ya, I make more money with hay, but I really started looking at my costs and time investment, and I realized my true profit was not as great as I thought. So, the heck with it....someone else can deal with putting up hay. Right now, my plan is to get a no-till planter and put most of the land into roundup ready soybeans. I'll keep enough hay ground for about 1000 bales which I can sell off the field. I feel your pain. This year has been an absolute disaster for hay in Southern WI. In the past 10 years, I can't recall ever having a year where it was so difficult to get good weather. Best of luck with whatever your decision is. Eric
