I've just started to look at current hay prices as I have most of last years crop in the shed. I have sold all my animals, so all the hay will be sold. This is all upland hay, grass and clover mix, one field has a bit of alfalfa in it yet, not much. All put up dry, as I got pretty lucky this year with the weather. I went to the local hay auction this past weekend, similar hay sold for $90-$100 per round bale or $7 per small square. I have some of each.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
