What are you guys going to do with that stuff? I did hay for a thoroughbred horse breeder near my childhood home as a kid and they sold maybe 40% of everything they put up after feeding their stock but anything they put up that got rained on they sold as much hay, there are a few smallish dairy farms in my area but they are all self reliant n their hay needs, 80-100 head is about as big as they come in southern Maine, my home town has beaches on the east side and the Westside of town was all farm land as Interstate 95 cuts Saco in half but in the last 20 years they've probably planted half the hay land into cookie cutter colonial style houses as the population jumped from like 18k to upwards of 30k since I graduated in '03 😢
It will possibly go to a dairy, though I'm sure it won't be fed to the cows currently being milked, or it will go to a feed lot. It is disappointing how fast farmland is being turned into houses. I've watched some nice open fields turn into subdivisions. I'm just hoping the growth slows down at some point, but I have my doubts.
