Extreme Veteran Posts: 417 Location: CA	I'm paying just shy of $20 a bale for high quality alfalfa in N Cal. The bales are approx 100 lbs, so that makes about $400 a ton. Makes me cringe every time I go.

And I was going to ETA to say the article was written in 2006. I just found an old check book in my truck from 2008 at that time I was paying $8 a bale for the best alfalfa you can get here. No I am paying $13 a bale for alfalfa that is sub par to say the least. $13/bale sounds nice right now. I just bought 70 bales of #1 at $18. Delivered. At a discount. It would sound nice if it wasn't the same hay they were selling for $5 a bale as cow hay just a few months ago. They moved it to the horse barn and marked it up. It is about 20% weed, has some kind of "native grass" in it I don't recognize and the bales are so light I can pick them up one handed.

Coyote Country Queen Posts: 5666	In Southwest Kansas, current prices for a small square of horse quality alfalfa is $10/bale (which usually figures to around $300 per ton). Large squares $250-$270. Supreme dairy $220-$250. Premium $210-$240. A little new crop contracted at $230-$240. This information is from the Kansas Department of Agriculture and was published in the High Plains Journal on February 24th.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1119	I have no idea where they came up with $150-$165 for premium quality Klamath Basin Alfafla. Very few people are selling hay around here and Alfalfa is base price $300 a ton. I know one dealer who is selling it for $275 but you have to buy a minium of 35 tons. Feedstores are charging $18 for a three string bale. ETA: Grass Hay is about $8.00 a bale for 60-65 lb bale.
