I usually check the local paper, Illinois agri news,craig's list, etc for hay equipment. Maybe it's just me but there seems to be a lot more equipment for sale. I'm not talking about a hay rake or a conditioner but complete sellouts of all hay equipment. Lots of hay in rounds for sale too. Anyone else seeing the same in their area?
I can see that here in our area as well. I think it has a lot to do with the market. A year or two ago we were selling hay for $250 per ton today your luck if you can get $85 out of it.
I still have a few hundred small squares of 1st, 2nd, and oats straw I'm trying to get rid of from last year. I'm getting between $100-$120 a ton for it.
Here in central KY, we had a bumper hay crop last year. Last year's rolled hay is going for around 10-12 a roll. The horse farms are a large market for small squares here, and with the economic decline that demand has really cut back from what it was a couple years ago.
