Hay markets

[Klause]

Experience running a non ag business helps.



We take credit and debit.


Instant payment and you know it's good.



We inoculate the alfalfa. Bale it at higher moisture. Cut monday bale weds... used to get hay with no rain in MB rained a lot more there hahahaha.


Timothy makes 4 bales an acre 80 per bale. Alfalfa is 2.5 to 3 first cut and 1 to 2 2nd time around. Rounds are 75 a bale. Squares 5 each.


Anything off grade we have a premium cattle market...

Our hay so far has choked out the foxtail... have 1 low spot we have to fix
Atv sprayer and then reseed this fall.

Was thinking it will be hard to sell hay this year.last year was easy.no real problem areas that will need short.Make sure bales are good condition cause they may have to sit and extra year.

[Klause]

Ours are all sold already. And have guys wanting more!

You must have a bit of an average market.have not put any for sale yet so I hope your right.

Klause ? cut mo/bail wed Ive been haying for 50 yr and never seen that hapen until they started silage bailing. If you are using chemical preservitave how much a bail, probably 20 yr ago I looked into that and then it was over $5/ bail only dairy farmers could afford it. What is a bail? 600/1100/1400. A lot more informative to quote by the #

Cutting on Monday and baling on Wednesday, while on June 26 you started a thread that stated the rain won't stop. I guess the rain really wasn't that bad and the weather has improved.

There is hay everywhere this year, not sure how your "off grade" ends up in the "premium cattle market". Cattle farmers are the most frugal shoppers out there.

Good luck Klause,
Did a lot of hay in the past - quality is what will keep your customers coming back.
Love the debit/credit card idea, getting paid in the past was always the challenge.
Glad to see you being creative.

Definitely a few holes in the story. Good luck! Your gonna need it some years. U must have no kids. Haying sucks some summers when they wanna go to the lake or on a trip and your stuck waiting on the weather.
