My brother-in-law is selling a few thousand bales of hay. He is located in SW PA. If anyone is interested, reply to this post or send me a private message. I will put you in touch with him.

Mornin Twodogs,
You might have better luck listing in the classifieds !

Heck, the way the drought is in the mid-atlantic, he may be better off holding it for a while.

The price will be going up.

Price is already hitting $7-$8 a bale for medium-to-poor quality hay around these parts. (small squares) Everyone is baling anything that they can get a string wrapped around. High quality hay is virtually nonexistant (or already sold). Glad I didn't sell my old baler!

What I sold ended up headed to Florida. It's in short supply here, but we have some. South and east of us is in deep trouble. I saw a guy baling plain ol' weeds yesterday. Along about next March, that'll be premium quality hay to someone. I bush hogged a place yesterday that was better hay. Cutting a field this afternoon that is better hay than my place. Sort of a shame to mow it down, but we can't have it for hay.

I passed two big trucks hauling 30-40 big round bales each the other day going east on I70. Sure seems strange to think it is cost effective to haul that stuff very far when I give away the fescue hay on my little place just to get it cut.

I am about 60% of what I should have. The very dry spring here did not help the hay crop. I put 800 bales in the barn for winter and 5000 in customers barns and was short 2000 of meeting the rest of my first cutting orders. Now I am praying for rain again to get a good second cutting. It would be the first second cutting I had in two years as last year it didn't stop raining until September and the fields were under water:(

Currently we have no hay at all :eek:

It has been raining in England since June. :mad:

Half of the country is flooded :eek:

You can't buy any hay at the moment as no one has any. There is some silage and haylage but it is about £7.00 ($12?) for a small square bale. I hope the weather gets better soon so we can get ours cut :rolleyes:

I saw someone baling some today but it was raining when the cut it so I think it is going to be way to wet for the horses

You can buy good hay in this area for $2.75 a bale. Quite a few horse folks who like quality hay and so far seem to have no trouble finding it.
