If the landowner is planting and maintaining a good hay field, it is often spilt 50-50 with the land owner and the fella making the hay.

If it is kind of abandoned land with no fertility and reseeding and so on, it is closer to 1/4 land owner 3/4 the fella doing the work. He has about the same hours and
expenses but there is less hay on such abandoned acres is why the land owner gets less.

Now I assume your mom doesn’t want the hay, but this can set a value for it. Every region and type of hay has wildly different values, and different yields.

So, if you figure what hay is worth in your area, and then come up with 1/4 of the bales would be the value your mom might expect. Maybe she could get 1/3, but from
what I read Of the situation I think 1/4 would be real good middle ground for all involved. She has no expensive or risk involved, maybe gets property taxes paid is the
big bonus to her. So a low average bale count and low average dollar value and get 1/4 of that year to year. Some people will figure it out each year, some people will
go for a set dollar amount based on low averages and just make it the same amount year to year.

In the past few years locally I have seen mixed grass hay bring $1.50 a small bale, and I’ve seen it bring $8. So I really hesitate to put an exact dollar amount on where
-you- are, as it changes so much here. I think you might need to just set it kinda low average, or be willing to adjust a lot for local conditions year to year.
