Because a bale is ill defined in weight shape and content the value of a bale depends on all of the former plus demand and availablility. A square bale which is actually a rectanglecan weigh in at anywhere from 40 to 90 pounds and may consist of almost anything from straw, grasses to high quality third cutting alfalfa. It could have been cut, mowed, raked, baled and put away at optimum conditions. It might contain mold, weeds or burrs (or the occasional skunk). Hay is very much like a fine wine and its value is similarily treated. A half ton Round of Prarie Hay will be cheaper then Red Clover or alfalfa, but quality brings a premium. The newest baling equipment produces rectangular bales that can weigh a ton each. Hay is sold by the ton in today's marketplace and the price varies greatly. Ask Wiki "What are the dimensions of a bale of hay?" for some more details.
