Location is huge. I baled up two racks of small square bales of excellent quality 3rd crop alfalfa hay last summer and still have one rack left. I sold part of the other rack here and there and only got about 2.50 a bale.
Rounds are also a hard sell here. I had some decent first crop 6 by 5 rounds and offered them to guys for $20 per bale and never sold a one. I'm now feeding them to the renter's cattle because they aren't worth anything and the pastures are burning up in this late season drought.
The only thing that sort of sells is very good quality wrapped big square bales. Can't even rent the hay ground out. Neighbor told me he has 300 wrapped big squares and a silage bag more than he needs. He's not even gonna cut fourth crop.
Everyone is buried in hay in Southwest Wisconsin. Come next drought, maybe the hay will be worth something, but then a guy won't have any to sell!
Next year, I'm gonna run a hot wire around most of the hay strips and let the renter's cows have it. Good pasture is somewhat harder to come by around here. 60 cents per head per day.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
