Hay production is a realistic goal for some small acreage landowners. Most livestock landowners can produce at least some of the forage that their animals require. For others, it can provide a small supplemental income from the property. These landowners don’t own a lot of land or equipment, therefor finding someone to cut and bale the hay is a common problem.
