The United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS) records go back only as far as 1964, when a ton of baled hay was selling for $19 - $20. It seems a reasonable guess that it would have sold in 1948 for $10 to $15 per ton.

About $13.00 per bale or $230 per ton as of February 1, 2014.
One ton = 2200 lbs (A long ton is 2200 lbs whereas a short ton is 2000 lbs.) A ton of hay is usually one large round bale of hay. Large square bales are often 1000 lbs, so a ton could mean 2 of these bales. Furthermore, small square bales weigh around 75 lbs, so a ton of small squares could equal around 27 to 30 bales of hay.
26 and 2/3 A ton is equal to 2000lbs, so 2000 / 75 = the number of 75lb bales in a ton.
