Equation: Estimated 4 tons per acre yield of 16% moisture hay at $200 per ton = $800 per acre value for all three cuttings; minus buyer’s cost of harvest and weather risk at $324 per acre assuming three cuttings (Table 1); equals the buyer’s maximum pay price: $476 per acre for three cuttings ($800 – $324 = $476).Click to see full answer. Similarly, it is asked, how much hay can you get per acre?each, per acre on average. Some farmers also give a rough estimate of 100 s??mall bales of hay per acre. If you are trying to grow timothy hay or a mix of timothy and clover or with other grasses, you should get as much as 80-150 square bales of hay in one cutting.Likewise, how do you price hay? Many landlords prefer to sell standing hay crops by pricing the hay on a cents/pound or dollars/bale basis. Market Approach If your local market for average quality baled hay equals $80.00 per ton or 4 cents per pound. Costs to cut and bale equals $44.14 per acre or $29.43 per ton or 1.5 cents per pound. Similarly one may ask, how much money can you make growing hay? “You are going to get more than three years out of that, but if we use three years, that’s about $100 per acre per year,” Brown says. “If you are getting $125 per ton for quality hay, you are going to see a profit of $51 per ton, or $204 per acre. “The potential is there to make some pretty good money on hay.”How much does it cost to plant 1 acre of alfalfa?Alfalfa has to be planted at around 25 pounds per acre if I remember correctly. A 50 pound bag of seed is around $200 last I heard a few years back, so $100 an acre just for seed. Probably $120-150 per acre including tillage costs.
