    Any hay that was saved before the middle of June should be good stuff if some effort was put into doing it properly but there was plenty of “hay” saved after that which wasn’t fit for baling and wouldn’t be great stuff at all imo.

    Hay baled here yesterday, ground took a battering ( equipment seems to be getting bigger every year) Where ground was dry quality seems ok but back swarths and wet ground poor enough.
    Crops were light when weather was good so not huge amounts of good hay made this year
    I make 100 - 150 square bales most years and I'd agree with poster there's a lot of work in them in bigger numbers

    Should have gone to his local farm supply store and given €7/8 for a little wrapped pack of haylage if he didn't want to part with €5 for a bale.

    You should always look after your neighbours when they stuck. It's a long road........
    With all that's involved with small squares you would need €5 to break even, so the man suggesting €3 isn't living in the real world.

    Well €3 off the field is one thing but it wouldn't be enough for the lad who has it put in a shed for sure

    Ah jayus, a lad calls for a couple of bales and he’s charged a tenner. Many a neighbour got a bale or two off me and there’d be no charge. Tis a long road.

    It's not the charging fact but if it was me I wouldnt be asking him what I owed him I'd just have the tenner put in his pocket or given to one of the young ones if there was young ones there.

    If you read his post a few of them come together to buy a truckload every year so this was a few I stuck bales.

    Good hay will keep if stored properly as well.
