That's one of the reasons why we don't do 3rd cutting anymore. for what we get per acre it doesn't pay when we can get 2.00-3.50 for 1st and 2nd cuttings.

Speaking of weight per bale, just tell them you made them lighter so they can handle em better. Used to try to make 50 lbs or more per but that starts to get old when your stacking them over your head in the barn.

That said, if you can; wait awhile! around here once the first snow is on the ground they pay 2.50 for anything in small squares. Who knows next year might be able to sell them for 4.00...

It's kinda slow around here in NY too, but I'd imagine it will pick up. Usually have some hay left over every year and sell right up to Memorial day with last years. this year sold the this years cutting for 3.00 and 3.50 for 2nd cutting (some right off the wagon). might have to drop some on the price, all depends on who it is to me... jeff
