I sell all my big round bales of alfalfa hay to the buyer that offers me the most for my hay.
These are commercial hay buyers that bring trucks to my fields, load the hay, then haul to commercial feed lots.
The buyers usually start calling me late in the year (September thru November), with their bids for my hay and after haggling a bit, I "commit" to the highest bidder.
Keep in mind, I don't get paid until AFTER the buyer shows up to get the hay (usually in late December or January).
On average,... the value of the hay continues to RISE during the time I first "commit" and the time I actually get paid, so that is to the hay buyer's advantage.
THIS YEAR,... these buyers started calling in JUNE, with bids that are approaching DOUBLE what I sold my hay for last year.
