Most people don't actually know what it costs them to make the hay to start with. Next, there are a lot of people out there that don't have the money to have horses let alone buy cheap hay. One of my neighbors bales and sells locally for a $1 a bale. Third, a lot of the grass sold for hay is not so great but it gets baled and sold anyway. I cut 20 acres into the ground this year to build up the soil in anticipation of renewing my hay fields. Next, when enough people come through and turn down hay for >$2 a bale, a lot of people come down in price fearing it will never sell and they will have to store it. My hay wasn't so good this year, partly because I cut it too late, partly because the fields are getting weedy. My third cutting didn't dry well enough and has a lot of clover in it. Now it's composting in back. In eastern tn, the hay is running out and people can't find it. It was a bad year weather wise (wet) and more people are quitting square bales. Soon all that cheap hay will be gone, then they will need you. Also, AlfAlfa should sell for more.
