Alfalfa Hay Doubled In Price For Me This Year - Drought Makes Its Impact
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1652906 09/06/2012 02:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Alfalfa Hay Doubled In Price For Me This Year - Drought Makes Its Impact I am an avid hay buyer and help arrange for other farmers to get their loads as well. Last year alfalfa hay averaged $195.00-$225.00 a ton when you buy as big of loads as we deal with. This year, becuse of the drought, very few people even have the hay to sell and what they do have is averaging $275.00-$365.00 a ton. Orchard grass is also sky rocketing. Last year $220.00 was common, this year it's averaging $400.00 a ton or more.

The U.S. Has stopped sending its hay overseas for the most part...other countries have had droughts as well. Next year, if another drought follows, the cost of milk products and beef/goat/lamb/pork will probably be astronomical to offset feed prices for farmers. Between gas and feed, farmers re getting hit really hard.

What happens when what we eat (meat animals) doesn't have anything to eat?

I know in our state, whos big crop is corn, the drought has all but ruined just about the entire state's crop. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions.

With Bernanke's recent 1.04 trillion printing the ag community started slaughtering everything they could because of the grain shortages so...for the time being, the shortage may not be as impactful.

Part of the cost of meat is the sell off of cattle because of the price of hay. Now not enough cattle in the market so a higher price for meat. Horses have suffered because of the same problem and the price for them is very low. We don't eat horses in this country.

I grew alfalfa and when it is hard to come by, food quality drops. Shows weather is not good too.
