I am in Van Zandt County, TX and been in small time hay business since 1984. Coastal Bermuda is the king of forage around these parts, don't plant nothing else. Don't buy a mower conditioner, instead you will need a disc mower or you could get a sickle, but kinda hard for beginners, a rake and sooner or later youll need a fluffer. The more tractors you have, the better. You can get 1 weedy cutting early spring and it will probably get rained on and 3 good cuttings if you time it right and fertilize right. Unless you buy a bigger tractor round bales are a no go. Get you a small square baler, (Love my inline Hesston) and produce top quality hay for the horsey people, they are extremely picky and a pain to deal with, but they will pay top dollar for high quality Coastal Bermuda with 0 weeds. You will need a barn and either some labor or an accumulator and loader. Sell on craigslist or to feed stores and you must deliver, but yea you can make a little bit of money selling hay. You can sell the first cutting to goat people and city people for Holloween decorations. Fertilize will be your highest input, Good Luck!
