Hay this year is really cheap for this area with the average cost being $7-$9 per 100 pounds depending on whether you buy 3 way or alfalfa. Last year it was over $15 a bale! The hay producers are having a difficult time getting rid of their hay this year because so many people have sold their animals.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720295946642489155noreply@blogger.com
