What are they going for around you ? More interested in city/urban prices than bulk farm cost. Thanks, in advance.
Looking for the small sq bale prices.

Hay has shot right through the roof here in the NW. $17 for a bale of hay. $350 to $400 for a ton of hay. Stunning to me how much it has gone up in the past two years!!!!

Haven’t bought hay in a while, but the farmer I worked for last year was selling it for $280 a ton, straight alfalfa. I just bought 25 pounds of chopped straw at the feed store for chicken bedding, $11

YOWZER!!! The prices sure do vary widely! When transportation costs are low, there's a huge amount of money to be made buying hay where it's cheap and selling it where it's expensive. Keith

Hay is a local crop and really depends on supply. Plenty of hay the price is typically sold for the cost of producing if not less. Short supply and there is no real top that won't be paid. Our local suppliers are helped significantly by our many horse owners. Many of the smaller stables have very few horses and thus not large equipment or storage for large squares or rounds. If it were not for horses there would hardly be any small squares made here anymore. We also live in an area where 2/3rds or more of the total hay crop forage is made into haylage or baylage.
Bryce Not so local anymore. This year will be more local due to gas prices but a lot of hay here was going out west because of draught.
