s.crum here is something to look at. Corn is about $270/ton according to your price. Corn is about 90% TDN meaning a ton of corn has 1800lbs of nutrients. Divide $270 by 1800 you pay about $.15/lb of nutrients. Hay I would say is about $225/ton on average depending on what you get and is about 60% TDN or 1200 lbs of nutrients. $225 divided by 1200lbs is $.1875/lb of nutrients. As you can see corn still gives more nutrients for your money even at $7.60/ bushel. Hay would have to be $180/ton or less to match corns amount of nutrients for you dollar. Granted you would have to add a protein, Ca and P supplements since corn is defficient. But hay is lower in energy, less palatable, less digestible, often times some of it is wasted, and corn would probably still be fed with hay to meet nutrient requirements.
