Hay is easily found in the Kansas City area. I have 4' alfalfa/brome round bales and a friend has the 5 footers. Don't know about the rules of this site, but curious what "too expensive/delivered" is in your area.

thats a big problem, hubby and i can no longer handle anything except small square bales. one answer i just got was $8.00 per bale, plus $2.25 mileage. that seems excessive, anyone else think so?

Got large round bales here delivered for 14. Is bermuda no alfalfa. Judy

ceresone, that sounds awfully high to me, but small squares are hard to find in our area so that could be part of the problem. I am listing the USDA's report. Maybe you could find something in your area using their listing of producers.

BTW, not even counting the mileage, that would figure .16 per pound if they are 50-lb bales x 2000 (ton) would be $320 a ton for alfalfa!! Hope you don't have to buy too much.

I have to admit, it sounded like very good hay, alf/orch.grass timothy mix- 27-30 bales to a ton, $200.per ton plus $2.25 per mile delivery.i hope i'm figuring wrong, but seems like the 100 bales i need would run close to $1000.no way can anyone in this part of the country afford that.i know small square bales are getting harder to find, but not only can we not handle big bales, our barn cant. and, since horses are so succeptable to mold, couldnt store outside. oh, woe is me!lol--least we have a home and barn, not like the poor hurricane survivors.

Well, i got hay!!might not sound like an accomplishment to some, but it is to me. bought 50 bales alfalfa, and 39 bales of prairie grass. not quite the 100 bales i planned on, but this cost 500. and i haul it--well, try to sweettalk SIL and S to haul it for me. thats a load off my mind!
