I baled alot of hay and never been nowhere near 175$ a roll into it... Why would anybody cut a field with grass that thin... Makes no since to me to get that far into debt because nobodys gonna pay that much for it and u could just buy hay alot cheaper without the hassle.. Cow hay still 35-45 a roll and good horse hay 65-75 average around here. Guess lucky for us in this area that there is some honest folks and not just hay peddlers
its real simple to get that far in "debt" with it. $16000.00 hay bailer, $35000.00 tractor, $25000.00 tractor, $10000.00 cutter, $2500.00 rake, $2500.00 trailer, $35000.00 truck, $2-5000.00a year in repairs, and the best for last......$4.00 gallon for fuel.
add all that together and then factor in NO RAIN and .5 bails and acre. you dont have to be a "hay peddler" to figure out we are fighting a loosing battle, but you are guaranteed that the bank still wants their share.
