11/19/2007 9:21:03 AM

A local farmer bales my own field for me - alfalfa + grass mix

11/19/2007 8:48:57 AM

Beautiful Willamette Valley second cutting, cleaned and farmed. $205. per ton. My horses love it.

11/19/2007 2:48:41 AM

I am in Minn and we had a pretty good yr for hay.With gas prices it will get higher soon.

11/19/2007 1:07:10 AM

11/19/2007 12:31:29 AM

11/18/2007 7:34:33 PM

square bales are getting smaller and smaller...

11/18/2007 6:58:13 PM

We had to buy hay outside of our home state this year, never had to do that before.

For the T/A

11/18/2007 6:36:29 PM

11/18/2007 5:33:30 PM

11/18/2007 3:13:26 PM

Timothy Hay - 4 tons at a time. $850.00 Alfalfa - $900/4 tons

11/18/2007 2:42:12 PM

I make my own hay, so my cost is a bit lower that if I were buying it.

11/18/2007 2:40:21 PM

Very poor quality, cut late

11/18/2007 2:00:19 PM

It seems many producers are hoarding to inflate prices. We are planting our own for next year.

11/18/2007 1:28:06 PM

picking it up out of the field is cheaper, but you have to be set up to either hire or haul yoursel

11/18/2007 1:18:24 PM

1200 lb. round bale $50.00

11/18/2007 10:50:57 AM

I have small acreage and have to buy hay oftenbecause I also have a storage problem.

11/18/2007 9:05:16 AM

11/17/2007 9:52:32 PM

Lots of good quality coastal hay

11/17/2007 9:34:34 PM

11/17/2007 9:31:32 PM

I had no problem receivng hay from our dealer

11/17/2007 9:09:49 PM

get mine from the field of a local farmer, 6 miles away

11/17/2007 8:15:29 PM

I am buying by the ton with a fixed price for the year from my feed store. He delivers and stacks

11/17/2007 6:03:57 PM

Hay is going to be really tight this year.

11/17/2007 3:41:47 PM

hihh quality higher prices

11/17/2007 3:08:29 PM

11/17/2007 12:54:48 PM

I've found a local farmer that sells regular sized bales for $4.25. Really good quality.

11/17/2007 11:38:16 AM

very good

11/17/2007 11:25:35 AM

fair

11/17/2007 8:19:02 AM

I was luckey enought to find hay this year..I had lost the best person we ever had to death two year

11/17/2007 6:53:50 AM

Horse gram use

11/17/2007 2:55:59 AM

Grass is getting tight but alfalfa available easily

11/17/2007 2:03:55 AM

It's just like any other year.

11/17/2007 12:15:35 AM

So far, so good. We don't have as much storage for hay on the farm as we would like, but no shortage

11/16/2007 11:16:16 PM

we make our own for 4 horses and glad we kept all this year because of drought mid summer

11/16/2007 10:03:24 PM

First cut was scarce with the dry early summer, and the 2nd and 3rd were so fine they wouldn't stay

11/16/2007 9:58:00 PM

150

11/16/2007 9:08:51 PM

It has been expensive and sometimes difficult to get - need some alternatives.

11/16/2007 8:43:05 PM

Slim and costly, paying 15.00 a bale

11/16/2007 8:33:54 PM

very bad, round bales approx. $70.00 to $100.00, poorer quality

11/16/2007 7:51:46 PM

Its good but expencive!

11/16/2007 7:35:49 PM

I do not see a shortage where I am

11/16/2007 7:23:37 PM

Purchasing 900 pound square bales instead of small, more economical.

11/16/2007 7:21:55 PM

Haveing a very hard time finding good hay this year.

11/16/2007 6:30:22 PM

Buying compressed bales not good enough for export

11/16/2007 5:59:40 PM

I bought fairly early on which kept my costs more reasonable.

11/16/2007 5:23:56 PM

not healthy green hay

11/16/2007 4:26:44 PM

Rough - harder to find, poorer quality, more expensive. Selling horses.

11/16/2007 4:08:59 PM

everytime we go to buy the price goes up:, we are in CA.

11/16/2007 3:31:48 PM

$4.95 and a $20 surcharge for gasoline for delivery of 80 bales

11/16/2007 3:29:11 PM

early in the year it was good now it is of poor qaltiy and is very high priced

11/16/2007 3:27:14 PM

11/16/2007 1:43:40 PM

11/16/2007 1:36:39 PM

its is a sad selection

11/16/2007 1:27:42 PM

so far so good. We have a very reliable source and the hay is nice and consistent.

11/16/2007 1:23:27 PM

South Carolina

11/16/2007 1:21:11 PM

We have more hay available this year because the drought was not so bad but the prices are the same

11/16/2007 1:18:53 PM

5.75, it's 15/ton cheaper this year for alfalfa here

11/16/2007 1:10:39 PM

the Hay prices keep going up and the bales are smaller and not packed well ,horrible

11/16/2007 12:40:23 PM

Very limited supply, importing from western states

11/16/2007 11:59:49 AM

very dry

11/16/2007 11:33:23 AM

Good. I get hay from a farmer who specializes in horse hay; he makes sure regulars have hay!

11/16/2007 10:55:47 AM

Hay has been sketchy at best. I am switching to pellet feed.

11/16/2007 10:51:07 AM

less than good quality at high prices

11/16/2007 10:50:04 AM

Good quality 1st, 2nd cuts 3rd cut thick cuts

11/16/2007 10:25:02 AM

I am in South GA and it is sparce....

11/16/2007 10:22:03 AM

Hay prices in south Florida have skyrocketed and costing horse owners like myself to struggle.

11/16/2007 9:42:27 AM

$8/35lb square bale. Hay was extremely scarce in the fall and winter months. I fed cattle grade.

11/16/2007 9:40:37 AM

our hay supply this year has been great. The farmers had three cuttings in most of the area

11/16/2007 9:29:57 AM

The hay price has fluctuated from $5 to $6; quality: bad in lt summer, better in early fall grassy

11/16/2007 9:20:24 AM

I ordered 200 bales of Alicia Bermuda and 200 bales of Bahai Grass hay for my 4 TWH.

11/16/2007 9:11:46 AM

My crop was 1/5 of a normal year. With everyone else having the same prob, hay is a BIG issue.

11/16/2007 9:09:40 AM

Good hay, for that matter any feed quality is in short supply in central Minnesota.

11/16/2007 8:42:55 AM

3.25- WI. alfala or grass, no rain

11/16/2007 8:27:49 AM

Available, but expensive; all shipped in from out of the area

11/16/2007 7:54:27 AM

hay is in short supply. I will probably run out before spring

11/16/2007 7:53:09 AM

It is not too bad although the coast for me has almost doubled.

11/16/2007 7:21:52 AM

I'm in England and there has been flooding all year. Hay is late hay and not as nutritiou!

11/16/2007 2:36:03 AM

$5.00 per bale. 1/2 of each load has a lot of crab grass and fescue instead of orchard grass.

11/16/2007 1:33:57 AM

expensive. and more each year

11/16/2007 1:31:42 AM

Not good

11/16/2007 1:12:29 AM

very expensive

11/16/2007 12:31:26 AM

11/15/2007 11:05:05 PM

11/15/2007 11:02:31 PM

We had a shortage of hay because of the drought in Mississippi which raised the price on square bale

11/15/2007 10:37:48 PM

11/15/2007 10:01:01 PM

11/15/2007 8:52:52 PM

Fortunately, we made arrangements to get some first cutting hay early in the season.

11/15/2007 8:49:21 PM

satisifactory, pretty consistent and easily attained.

11/15/2007 8:42:07 PM

11/15/2007 8:06:23 PM

11/15/2007 8:04:34 PM

Hay prices have almost doubled past years

11/15/2007 7:57:41 PM

lots of rain lots of hay

11/15/2007 7:57:05 PM

quality hay is hard to find and very expensive when found

11/15/2007 7:50:42 PM

not a good supply due to too much rain this spring and summer

11/15/2007 7:27:21 PM

I wont buy square bales at that price. Besides, they have been consistently MOLDY!!! WHAT A RIP-OFF

11/15/2007 7:26:44 PM

11/15/2007 6:57:43 PM

There is minimal hay available in my area

11/15/2007 6:39:34 PM

11/15/2007 3:42:28 PM

We buy by the tons, lucky got good price per ton

11/15/2007 3:29:45 PM

I'm loyal to my hay provider (20+years) so he doesn't take advantage of me when prices skyrocket.

11/15/2007 3:25:47 PM

Really hard time finding GOOD square bales, local farmers are all round baling EVERYTHING

11/15/2007 3:23:20 PM

My horse can't eat alfalpha, won't eat Bermuda. Large bales of timothy are around $20-23 in AZ

11/15/2007 3:22:53 PM

It's a crisis in Tennessee this year.

11/15/2007 2:22:30 PM

Our area of central ohio has a short supply of hay.

11/15/2007 1:49:22 PM

11/15/2007 11:54:50 AM

11/15/2007 11:05:25 AM

We purchase from a trucker who hauls for plants in our area.

11/15/2007 8:30:45 AM

11/14/2007 7:57:18 PM

11/14/2007 7:07:48 PM

11/13/2007 3:57:50 PM

Iffy and often poor quality

11/13/2007 3:57:37 PM

No problem getting 1st or 2nd cut... nice soft orchard grass "candy" hay... best I've seen in years.

11/13/2007 3:57:03 PM

And that is for nice coastal bermuda, but I'm sure that won't last.

11/13/2007 3:51:01 PM

Quality Local Grass Hay no longer cheap! Buying from safe source makes it worth the price!

11/13/2007 3:51:01 PM

I got mine early, rather than having to purchase throughout the winter, what a relief!

11/13/2007 3:50:51 PM
