This is our first year of making hay and we will be having our hay field cut and baled as soon as the weather permits (have found a lovely man to cut, turn, bale).
We expect to have approx 400 surplus small bales of hay and having had a look at some friends hay done by the same man the bales are nice and heavy.
We don't have any storage for the hay and are going to advertise it for sale in the local paper this week in the hope that people will come with their trailers and take it away!
What price are people paying for hay from the field? We were thinking of selling it for £1.75 per bale.
I also have some of last years hay approx 50 spare (bought in last autumn) which has been stored on pallets under canvas and is dry, still looks and smells great and isn't dusty. I am not sure what to ask per bale for this either.
Obviously we would like to get a good price for the hay but need it gone quickly!
