Depnding on the amount of rain you receive each year depends on the number of bales per acre.
Scenario B / per acre # of Cuts
Drought 0 - 1 0 - 1
Minimal Rain 1 - 2 1 - 2
Moderate Rain 2 2
Extensive Rain 2 - 3 3
Keep in mind that this numbers are also based on proper fertilization, weed control, and vehicle / utility traffic. These numbers are obviously based with no livestock present. Different equipment will bale tighter : looser bales.
Due to the increase in diesel fuel costs you will typically find someone to handle the work for $23.00 per/b
Depends on how heavy those bales are, soil quality and your location. As such the question cannot really be answered.
An acre is 43,560 square feet. Most small square bales would lightly cover at least 2x10 ft, but more likely 2x15 ft . Therefore; 43,560 divided by 30 (if each square bale covers 30 sq/ft as an average) = 1,452 square bales. If the bales are larger (round bales), obviously fewer bales would be required. Large round bales would likely provide at least 10X the coverage so likely in the range of 145 round bales
One
That all depends on the size and type of bales you have, as well as the forage biomass of that field. Bales come in not just one size, they come in small square, large square, small round and large round bales. Forage biomass is also different from year to year, depending on current seasonal conditions (moisture, sunlight, soil) for your area.
a lot
The number of bales that are produced per acre varies a lot by area, soil conditions, type of cotton, and weather conditions. For instance, in Lubbock, Texas in 2012, cotton production varied from 1/2 bale per acre to 4 bales per acre. The higher yields came from fields that were irrigated.
This depends on a few factors: Forage quality, forage biomass in terms of lbs/acre, forage content, hayfield/pasture conditions, and the size/weight of the round bale. Some areas can get get 3 bales per acre, especially if the bales are packed light and small, whereas others may only get 2 or 3 acres per bale.
75-100 bales depending on the type of hay, 1st or 2nd cutting , and the size of the bale.
Typical square bale will weigh between 60 to 120 pounds depending on moisture content and density of material in the bale. Yields of hay very greatly from .05 to 6 ton per acre. Given an average weight of 80 lbs. per bale and average yield of 2.0 ton per acre, one could expect to yield 20-25 square bales per acre.
Maybe you should tell us where you are located first before we can answer this question.
3- 5 per acre per year. Average production of hay is 2- 3 tons per growing season in the U.S. midwest. Average weight of a round bale is 1200 pounds or 0.6 tons. Lots of variables here including length of growing season, rainfall, type of hay produced, and bale size.
This will entirely depend on cubic feet of each bale. with only 5 foot as the measurement it is impossible to give a 100% accurate answer. However where I live they sell 5'x6'x5' and 6'x6'x5' round bales each size having a variable weight depending upon the type of hay and when it was baled. Lets assume that the small square bales are 16"x14"x41" (Again a locally sold size). For the first round bale 5x5x6 the cubic feet would be 150 cubic feet, for the small bale it would be roughly 5.3 cubic feet. That means that 28.3 small bales would be needed to equal the same size as the round bale. The second bale is larger at 6x6x5 which equals 180 cubic feet, you would need roughly 33.9 small bales. However overall bale size (Dimensions and weight) is variable according to the type of hay used, growing conditions of the hay, and the baler used. It is over all more accurate to go by weight rather than volume.
