Sorta like the "how much is gas..." but a little less aggravating -- I hope!
Anyway, I paid $6.50 a bale in the field last summer here in Alaska. Fifty pound square bales on average. Bought 'em from a couple of different farmers but they were very professional in their approach to "raisin' hay". Used a digital moisture meter before cranking up the baler and checked several windrows before starting. Also weighed a number of the first bales with a scale upon startup.
A lot more "high tech" than when I was a kid! So, what are you payin' (or sellin") a bale of hay for this season where you live?
Thanks for the come back==
