If I could get the big bales for her, I could possibly make a small profit acting as a hay transporter. The drive up to her including loading is about a 2 hr up, 1 hr unload and 1 hr home, so say 4 hrs. Might be able to make $350 for transport fee.
My other option is to cut some fields way early (grass is maybe 24" tall) and make a light 2nd cutting. Not exactly perfectly clean as I sprayed weeds only about 8 days ago, but used herbicide that's ok to cut in only 7 days, so I'm clear to cut, but weeds still present.
Or I might lose customer. I was just brought on board a month ago. Previous supplier was bringing her junk hay.
So do I buy hay from someone else until mines closer to being thick enuf to cut, or cut mine now? if I cut mine now, I'm sure I'll get another cutting and the hay will be really nice, but I'd be lucky to cut 4-5 weeks worth.
I'm leaning towards cutting early and getting her round bales while weather warm. She will switch to a lot more squares for winter and maybe they'll be more plentiful by then.
Would have no problem making an extra $350-$450/week bring her someone else's hay until mines ready, but.....
Advice??
Hay shortages underway. What to do
