What hay costs in Iowa
BaleWise tracks 162 hay listings in Iowa, 63 with listed prices, checked October 26, 2026. Every price is the seller’s own, per bale, next to the size of bale it buys. Nothing is converted, estimated, or averaged into a number the seller never quoted.
5×5-and-up rounds run $50.00 to $120 a bale across prices from 10 sellers, with a midpoint of $70.00. Large squares: $40.00 to $130 across prices from 8 sellers.
Verdicts on the board above compare a listing against other Plains listings of the same bale size, at least 6 of them, or we don’t rate it at all. It is the same yardstick the region board uses, so a listing carries the same verdict on either page.
This board shows Iowa only. Buying near a state line? The full Plains board includes sellers just over it.
