How much do you expect/have you paid for hay per ton this year? We posed this question to our readers in last week’s online poll. Nearly 600 people responded to the online poll (599 to be exact!) and we’ve tallied the results.

Of the 599 respondents, 212 people (35%) said that they will pay more than $250 per ton for hay this year, while 100 individuals (17%) said they paid anywhere from $201-$250 per ton for hay. Another 96 individuals (16%) said they would pay $151-$200 for hay per ton, and 57 (10%) of poll respondents said they would pay between $101-$150 per ton. Only 36 respondents said that they paid or expected to pay less than $100 per ton for hay. Additionally, 89 people (15%) said that they grow their own hay for their horses, while nine individuals responded that they did not feed their horses hay.

More than 180 people commented on different aspects of their hay costs, including the type of hay, price, quality and delivery.
