I dunno TRD, most places get slammed for hay at one time or another.
We had a fantastic year last year, middle of the prairie heartland, and you can't get SILAGE for $1. Best hay I've ever seen was going for $7 a square (75lbs) and the worst crap I've ever smelled was selling at $4.
Round bales here you seldom get the same quality as in organic-farmed squares, but you can still find really nice rounds for horses...1500lbs = $30 - $45 depending on the quality, cut and composition.
I think the price of hay is pretty good...it's the price of hauling that's a killer. The nearest hay is 300 km away, and the baseline cost for shipping is 10 cents per bale, per loaded km. I wish I had a semi. And a Class 1 license. And farm plates so's I could get purple gas.
