Hay is usually kind of a waste product around here, bale the road ditches and low wet ground for grass. Dairy folk grow or contract their own alfalfa, and now a days put it up wet (silage or wet bales) as our climate is too wet and humid to make many dry bales dependably.
So that leaves a few hobby cattle and horse buyers for 'good' hay and alfalfa. Pretty small market and generally very cheap, $1.50 to $3 a small bale, mostly on the lower side.
With the very long winter and cold May no pasture growing, hay became short, and bales sold for big bucks! I saw $8 small squares, wow!
Now it has rained and rained and rained. Few of us have made 1st cutting of grass, should have 3 weeks ago. All over ripe and very soggy. First cutting of alfalfa should have been 4 weeks ago, should be starting 2nd cutting now. Some have zero cuttings, most have very poor rained on cutting, and field in terrible shape from mudding that out, windrows were laying 8 days or more.
