Most people around me have at least a few hundred head of cattle, so not many small squares around except the hay sellers and they truck most of them away. Rodeo people use a few I guess. No big square balers around. Generally everyone has big round bales and use a bale processor of some brand to hay with (mine is a Haybuster 2620 I bought new years ago), when I buy hay it's usually 1500-1600lb 6' net wrapped bales, that's what the sellers like to haul on trucks. I do about 1400 lb twine for my own, my baler was set at that when I got it and I left it alone. Didn't get net on my first baler years ago, will get it next time if I get tired of this one. Depending which truck/trailer the truckers use, generally around 32 bales a load. As of two weeks ago, locally, it was $90 per ton for "decent" grass. Last year I had several truckloads at $130 delivered price from 70 miles away, but it wasn't very good. Year before that I had some at about $160 delivered. Within a couple years of that I had some at $220. I am late haying now because I had difficulty replacing a tractor, it's still green and pretty decent looking but ripe and the clover is dried up, but it is cutting more than double the amount of each of the last two years. The guys that hayed normally didn't get as much, rain started late, but at least there was some this year. Still a few of the neighbors putting around in the fields yet too. Finding weather to hay has been difficult this year as well. http://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/wh_gr310.txt

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
