Yes, I fertilize and lime. In the Fall I apply 10-20-20 and early in the Spring I apply liquid nitrogen. When lagoon waste or chicken litter is available I substitute that for fertilizer as it is cheaper and the chicken s*** gives the grass a kickstart. I grow fescue interplanted with Ladino clover and Marion lespedeza. Since I have beef cattle, I only sell what surplus hay that I have and it is sold in round bales. It is possible to get $3.00+ for good quality horse hay. Hay prices are based on supply and demand. When it is plentiful, the price in the field behind the baler with the customer picking it up is low ($1.00-$1.25) Once it goes in storage and the supply shrinks the price jumps ($2.75-$3.50 based on quantity and quality) Bale dimensions vary but a good square bale should weigh 50+ lbs. and the length should be twice the width to enable maximum and uniform stacking. Since you will get more than one cutting you may not be storing the total yield as hopefully you would have sold some. 2500 bales will take a lot of storage space. For example, an enclosed trailer such as behind a roadtractor will hold between 600 and 800 bales. Do not take these facts as actual because I too am running on memory and conditions do vary considerably across the country.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
