The guy where I buy my hay sent his first load to Tennessee this week. Small squares sell here (Eastern Ontario, Canada) for $2.00 or $2.50. I wonder what they fetch once they arrive down south  ..marion |

4x5 round bales usually go for $20-30 are coming in from Oklahoma at $70-100 per. Half of that price is fuel. Many counties are ordering it for their farmers and absorbing the delivery costs. Farmers can get them $40 per. It's controversial, some people don't think tax dollars should be spent that way. The first county that offered to do it got the ordinance shot down. Other counties (mine) went ahead and appropriated $100,000 for the delivery cost.
I would guess squares are going for $5++

Sorry to hear of your hay problems, I know what you must be going through, Texas was hard hit last year.
Even though this has been one of our wettest years, good quality hay is still 70.00 a roll, a lot of hay was lost because of it rotting in the fields. There's lots of low quality hay out here most of it is moldy.
Buy what you can now, it's only going to get more expensive as time goes on. Last year round bales ended up costing $120.00 4x5, small square 9.75. It was dreadful and scary.
Hopefully things will get better before they get worse.
I feel for those of you in the drought areas.

Have you looked on www.hayexchange.com look at your state and the bordering states figger the per bale cost plus fuel see if you can drive and buy better than you can stay at home and buy. I've had folks drive from Ky. and Ohio, say it cost less than staying home and paying scalpers prices. Looks like a guy in Memphis is selling big rounds of Bermuda for 35.00 a roll HCD |
