It varies but $85/bale was not atypical. I'm glad I have enough of my own hay to make it till at least mid may and should start getting grass enough for grazing by mid April.
Oklahoma is trying to recover from a record drought. Although my ponds are full and overflow, the deficit in the aquifers has definitely NOT been replenished. Clearly 2006 was quite dry at the worst times. It remains to be seen what happens this year but another record drought or just a serious shortfall during the times when rain is most needed will put lots of marginal operations in dire straights or bankrupt.
A couple years ago you could buy all the GOOD hay you wanted for $20/bale. Low hay prices is one of the reasons I hung onto mine, a lucky accident for me.
