So I may be messed up on this, but it seems to me you should
be able to get at least 200 square bales per acre in 3 cuttings.
If you have 60 acres in hay at any one time, you get something
like is 18000 bales to sell each year, probably more.
Around here small square bales of the good stuff might be $4
depending on the year. Even at $2, that's 36K. It depends a
lot on the location and the proximity of horses and how good
for horses the current fields are.
Your costs are lower than it is for many since you own the
equipment already, but there are a lot of costs that go into
the operation (fuel, planting, repairs etc.)
