Hi. The other day a local farmer told me that sometimes they cut and bale oats for feed. This is my first year farming (I just turned 17).
I planted 20 acres of oats and I'm looking for the best price for my harvest. How much do oat hay bales sell for? Do they want round or square bales? (My biggest tractor is a 1947 late styled John Deere A so I can't pull a round baler, but I could hire it done.) The field has some grass and weeds -- does that help or hurt the price per bale? About how many bales per acre do you get?
Any other information would be appreciated.
Thanks
