How many large round bails of hay per acre?

Answer 1

3- 5 per acre per year.

Average production of hay is 2- 3 tons per growing season in the U.S. midwest. Average weight of a round bale is 1200 pounds or 0.6 tons. Lots of variables here including length of growing season, rainfall, type of hay produced, and bale size.

Answer 2

This all depends on location, climate, moisture content, plant/soil fertility, health of the forage in the field prior to cutting, and time of year. In good growing years you can get a lot of RB's per acre, but in poorer times when there is drought you often get half to a quarter as many bales/acre.

Answer 3

In a good growing season, around 50 to 100 bales. However this all depends on your location, moisture content, time of harvest, climate, forage quality, etc. that determines how many bales per acre you will get.

Another caveat to this answer: A lot depends on the stand of hay. Is it alfalfa or grass? How thick is the stand of hay? Was it rained on or not? How many times was it raked prior to baling (raking it numerous times knocks the leaves off of alfalfa)? Is it first, second, third or even fourth cutting of said forage?

Answer 4

On average, around 3 to 4 bales, but it all depends on the forage yield at the time you will be taking hay off.
