You will save money if you find a local supplier direct from farm than the farm store that is upping the price to get a cut. I sell grass hay bales for 5, alfalfa horse quality for 8, wheat or oat straw for 8 and barley straw for 10.Any suburban folks use straw or hay? Where do you source it? I've seen it for $8-$10 for a bale. I feel like that's a lot.
When we sell to the tractor store that's what it is bought for too. Then they mark it up to 10-15 a bale.
