In 2009, I was delivering hay for $150/ton to the large dairy north of here, good clean oat straw was $180, all of which I helped put up, I cannot see selling it for that price, less than half, knowing the costs of the equipment, the maintenance, the cost of keeping a truck on the road, it was a decent paycheck at the above prices, not a huge or unfair mark up, if we did that, this customer would not buy from us, as I know with sawdust bedding for the calves, I used to deliver that, but it was so marginal, a pain to even get a load, enough that one afternoon after tearing the inside of my leg open at the day job, needed to get stitched up, but the mill called, I went and got the load on the truck first just to secure it, then took myself for some quality time with the doctor, a deep jagged tear, hard to numb, good times LOL ! He stopped hauling that bedding, they wanted it just above cost, would pay no more, one tire, one ticket, it will cost you much more than the load was worth. He turned all his ground to hay, for a couple of reasons, and it figures corn was doing well, as thats what is mostly grown around here and sells a few hundred acres worth of hay every year exclusively to that customer and by now the price is probably higher. His stands are decent too, so if the weather cooperates it can be really nice hay.
