| Dry alfalfa is the one thing we don’t raise and have to buy in. Between the hay grinder taking forever to show up and charge $18 a bale these days. I think I’d rather chop alfalfa with our pull type, pack it and be done with it. Do you still have a lot of leaf loss when it’s chopped? I know the leaf loss through the grinder is horrendous. I think the hardest part about this will be finding someone to actually let you chop it. Folks here make money off running their swather, rake and Baler. I’ve read somewhere that. You take the moisture times the dry hay price? 200 a ton hay. 2.00 x 35= 70$ton??
Our local dairy is the only one that buys in alfalfa hayledge. But they trade back compost. So I’m not sure how that affects pricing. I know they wouldn’t tell me if I asked. We could do the same in our situation
