i’m in central Virginia, anyone know what an average price is for a good bale? I’m getting prices all over the map I have found prices ranging from $16 a bale to $48 a bale and not sure what is average.

How big are the bales?
I’m north of you in eastern panhandle of WV but pay 11.00 per 45-50 lb bales stacked and delivered gorgeous 3rd and 4th cut alfalfa.
What size bales? What kind of quality? I’m in eastern middle TN, and I paid $8/bale for ~$60 pound bales of very good quality alfalfa this year. But I bought my hay in August, not January; I expect you’ll pay a premium this time of year, if you can even find producers who still have hay in stock. My guy sold out over a month ago.
I’m no where near where alfalfa is grown (it’s shipped in a fair distance), and I just paid $19 each for very good quality 60#+ bales.
$28 per bale (3 strand, about 90 lbs+/-) hay is grown right next door to the feed store that sells it, we’re in the Southwest.
$12ish for 60 pound bales. In the midwest.
I’m paying $100 for lovely second cutting 900 lb. big squares (central Wisconsin).

Our local hay guy said his alfalfa is lousy so he’s charging only $5.50 per 50# bale. My friend’s Trak mare hoovers it. He charges $7.00 for third cut grass that my mare hoovers. I’m about 40 miles west of Chicago.
