Hay prices this year?

our hay equipment wasnt purchased during the drought, but we didnt pay cash for it either. we still have a yearly farm note to make and the bank dont care if we sell any hay or not. i can honestly say that we have never sold a bale of hay for over $50. we cut most of our hay on halves with land owners. this keeps us in good standings with other land owners and it also keeps us from having to sign lease agreements. we keep what hay we need and sell the rest. just like most everybody else, we aint selling any hay this year.

we rolled a field the other day that last years first cutting it made 125 rolls and the the second cutting made 78 rolls. this year the first cutting made 18 rolls and there want be a second. I dont blame any farmer for trying to sell hay for what he has to to make ends meet. its all in supply and demand. we demand fuel, fuel companies suply it. they get to set the price. thats just how it works.
