There has been a lot of hay made this year in North East Texas.
What to do with the extra hay?
1: Save hay for next year, if you got a good storage area this may be a good option if we have shortage next year.
2: You run extra cows during the winter and sell in the spring, couple things to think is what will cattle market do in the next few months? With oil going up, will that effect the corn futures, if corn price rise then cattle prices may drop. Also how is all the meat recalls in the last few months affecting the consumer’s confidence of meat products?
3: Try to sell some hay, the east part of the US is in need of hay, but trucking cost will be a major factor as diesel prices increase to ever closer to $4.00 a gallon.
This is a lot better problem having too much hay than last year scrambling to find hay at very high prices and very low quality.
If you have any other ideas about what to do with extra hay let us hear about it.
