How much is a bale of hay worth?

Answer 1

Since the size of hay bales varies so greatly, this question must be answered by weight. Current prices of quality alfalfa hay in the western U.S. range from $70 to $110 US per ton (US ton = 2,000 pounds). In other parts of the U.S., hay types, qualities, and prices can vary greatly from this. In the U.S., your local county extension agent should be able to give you a reasonably unbiased value for the hay available locally.
