Small square bales, 2nd cutting, put up dry, not rained on, and GOod color, mix of grasses, clover, timothy and alfalfa. It is heavier on mixed grasses. The small square 2nd cutting bales are $3 each.
For semi truck loading (a 53' van hold about 600 bales), we need to hire kids to load, and that can run around $100 that we'd charge extra to load a 53' semi trailer with small square bales.
Although not certified organic, this hay actually is. It is chemical-free. No artificial fertilizers, pesticides, fungicide hay "conditioners," etc. Not rained on.
I am very reluctant to hire semis like I used to because I no longer can get firm quotes without unpredictable fuel surcharges being added on later. We can load the hay for your truck. Semis can get into my barn, and load hay under the roof, so rain is not a problem if you send a van.
Please do not ask me about sales where I would have to pay your shipper or agent out of what money you send me.
I take checks if they have time to clear before pickup, or wire transfers. PayPal is possible, but I would need to charge $2.20 a bale to cover PayPal fees. The squares are all from my farm. We can load you up, but not hire trucks or make long-haul deliveries.
These photos are not current, but give an idea of what it looks like and how it's stored.

Please do not suggest any money laundering schemes where you send us a check for not only the hay, but also to pay your shipper...and then ask us to pay your shipper. We don't pay anybody when we make a sale; this is a sale, where you pay us.
Due to rising trucking costs and unpredictable fuel surcharges, we are no longer willing to hire truckers like we used to, back in the days when we got firm quotes on trucking. Hay has to be picked up at our farms, using your trucker.
