WANTED: hay in NY or PA

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

This upcoming spring and summer I will be in need of good quality hay. I travel through PA and upstate NY and am looking to arrrange something with someone in advance. I would need baled hay- not rounds. Timothy/ alfalfa or mixed hay would be good. I will require 100 bales (two string- if larger bales, lesser amt) weekly to bi weekly. The routes I do (or can) travel are: I-390 NY from 15 too Webster. Anywhere near Rochester/ Bath is good. I travel Rt 15 through PA to I81 interchange, but can go I83 from Harrisburg down. I could alsso get it near Syracusse or anywhere along I81 NY thru PA. Basically- anywhere mentioned.

Kevin, Are you getting in the Hay and Firewood Business? Have you considered buying large round Hay Bales and unrolling it and rebaling it into square bales? Around here I can buy a 1500 pound round bale for $25 - $30. If I was to Rebale it I could get thirty 50 pound square bales and sell them at $4.00 each. I found a machine that would do the whole thing for me, but I am sure it would be out of my price range. I quess some folks just unroll it on the ground and run their square baler over it.
