Alan, The mulch hay you want is horse quality hay that has gotten rained on. It's no good as feed and should be low on weed seed. I charge $2 to 2.50 per bale (~32-34 'long). In this price range, the farmer gets his direct costs out of a poor situation -- nice hay lost to rain. Tom, NC, zone 7a

I was just quoted $4 for sq bales of mulch hay.
Also found big bales of straw for $20. Told by the farmer that these
bales are about 25 sq bales. Unfortunately, my help tells me that the
big bales of straw don't go very far at all.
What do you pay for mulch hay in your area? What do you think a
tomato potato budget could afford to pay for mulch?
Thanks
