I got 270 round bales. Good Fescue.

I prefer a good Sativa

In a perfect world. We'd do business..

They bringing $55-$65 a bale now.

How much do they weigh ? Any weeds or mold slugs ? Rained on in the field ? Any seed ? First cutting ? Protein level ? Moisture content ?
Asking for a friend .

You'll be king of the world.

1200 to 1500 lbs id say 1st cut no rain. dry days from cut to baler. Covered Now. 5x6

There's a he'll of a lot of fescue's . which one is it ?

What state are you in ? What are you needing a ton ?

Yeah but to have a drought. id rather a peasant. We got enough shit going on.

really don't know. Just Going by how tractor feels when I pick them up. Understand what im saying.

South Carolina. By the Ton? You do the math. $65 a bale

WEIGHT wise sounds like about 180 to 200 tons . where is it what do you need for it ?

You are speaking my language, lol. My family are hay farmers in Indiana. Over 1000 acres of different types. We bale around 20,000 small square bales and 5,000 4x5 round bales a year. We are midway though 1st cutting on grass. Alf alfa is 2nd cutting already. I am already over tractor seat hours and its only may.

Sorry , we are clear over on the west side of the country . we'll get our first cutting here in eastern Washington in June .
I know a fair amount of buyers here but not where your at . I was looking at the hay exchange in you neck of the woods and it don't look like you have a lot of competition for buyers .
Good luck to you and thanks for
The offer I would have liked to do business with you .

Don’t sell! Wait a few more months and you will get $150+
I sold my place five years ago and was producing 250 horse quality coastal per year. They weighed 1500-1800 pounds. I used to get $100-120 during droughts and with the circumstances now that will seem cheap.
Trade them for stuff you need.

I don't see how anyone can afford to pay that when cattle are bringing 1980s prices. Makes no sense.

Cattle are at low prices to ranchers, but beef prices haven't come down in the store. They haven't gone up much though, which was a pleasant surprise when there were all those predictions of astronomical prices.

I'm crying.

Out in the Southwest we're paying 22$ per 90 pound bale. And no grass to graze.

I feel for you. It seems the southwest is running out of water. Logically that means you won't be able to live there anymore.

I checked the radar for the whole nation and we are as dry as a bone

China's weather war is working

I was kinda thinking that. But as much as i need money. I hate to take advantage of folks during hard times. But I plan on feeding my family. We'll see i guess.
