The hay isn't the problem, its the freight that eats your lunch. You can count on $20-30 a bale for freight.

Noelle,
I don't think Matt is talking about hauling from field to barn, or within the same county. Pretty sure he's talking OTR freight. I've got a fair amount of 5x6 rolls bought at $40.00, but it's gonna be $60.00+ by the time I get them hauled 150 miles, whether I pay a semi, or I put them on a 12 bale van and haul them myself.
I remember $100.00 hay in 1996 and diesel was only a buck. Now diesel and fertilizer are sky high... I bet we see plenty of $125.00 hay this year, especially this winter.

i dont know were yall come from but there is still a few honest hay farmers around like myself.I sold my hay for 40 a bale. when my neighbor is gettin 85 a bale. But i remember when i didnt have nothin commin out of high school feedin a few horses and calves we had a dry year and they were gettin a 100 a bale. Right then i vowed if i ever got in the hay business that i would take care of people like myself. We got a sayin about this sort of thing i call it a 'do gooder' Do gooders never win but i can sleep at night. i dont know if im stupid or not but people always com back to buy more hay.

Yeah the $30/roll was 18 wheeler loads coming out of OK, about 500 miles. I met with a man today that had some decent looking big rolls in his hay lot 5x6 net wrapped and he payed $85 a roll delievered for them and he said the next load he got would be more than that.
Derbittis I assume you dont have any of that that isn't bought do you?

I feel for ya'll down in Texas. Here in NE OK prices are still low. We just got 25 bales at $30 dollars a piece. We only bought that much this time because he said if we dont get any rain, the price is going to go up as its not looking good for a second cut this year. If anyone is interested I can talk to the man we get our hay from and see if he is willing to haul to Texas and how much it cost. He cuts a ton of fields and everything we have ever got from him has been good. I know he hauls a bunch around this side of Oklahoma, but dont know if he would be willing to haul to TX. But it wouldnt hurt me to ask. I coudn't imagine having to pay $100 a bale.

Well Ben from what I can tell it will be between 90-110 for good fertilized coastal. I may be way wrong though. Wheat straw started out at 45 a roll. There is also not many "clean" pastures around here. Few people fertilized, shoulda but didn't,nor did they spray weeds, or grasshoppers. So were gonna have to get that hay from somewhere else. I have been burning the rubber on my tires hauling hay up and down the highway so far. It kinda slowed down right now with alot of folks selling cows. But here in a few weeks its gonna take off again.

Hey Mod Where do you live? I live in Hammon. I might be interested in some of that hay if he still has some. Is it plains or native grass or what? Thanks, Daniel |
