What hay costs in Idaho
BaleWise tracks 38 hay sellers in Idaho — 23 with listed prices, verified July 21, 2026. Every price is normalized to true cost per US ton (2,000 lb) so a heavy bale and a light bale compare honestly.
Small square bales run $259–514 per US ton across 14 priced listings, with a midpoint of $313/ton. Sticker prices run $9.38–$125 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Large squares: $139–333/ton across 8 priced listings. Round bales: one priced listing at $274/ton.
Fair-price verdicts below are judged against the Mountain West market midpoint — the same yardstick the live board uses. For distances from you, ZIP search, and price alerts, head to the full board.
