Hay is very much in demand right now, I think the price is about
$200 a ton. Why grow alfalfa hay unless you feed it to cows or
other animals? It seems $5 corn & $10 soybeans are a better
way to go. What gives you a better bottom line?

Yes, alfalfa hay is a very good cash crop, especially if you have access to race horse/show horses markets. The market will always be good for high quality alfalfa hay. Right now there may be more money in corn, but the market fluctuates widely. we've raised both for years, and much of the time corn has not paid off at all. You can't go wrong if you grow alfalfa and stick with it.
