I just finished round baling 14 acres of timothy that is getting run out by orchard grass. Averaged 8 1/2 bales per acre. My bales are 750 -800 # each, figure 50# for small squares that's 15 or 16 per bale times 8.5/ac. That's 127-136/ac. So instead of making 119 round bales I would have made around 1820 small squares. Around here we don't expect much of a second cutting on clean timothy. If I'm lucky it will make 30 round bales of fluffy hay that has to be net wrapped or else it falls apart when you move bales. First cutting will bring about $18/bale, 2nd will bring $40/bale.
