What hay costs in Maine
BaleWise tracks 53 hay sellers in Maine — 26 with listed prices, verified July 24, 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 $178–522 per US ton across 14 priced listings, with a midpoint of $300/ton. Sticker prices run $4.00–$11.75 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Large squares: one priced listing at $471/ton. Round bales: $88–250/ton across 11 priced listings.
Fair-price verdicts below are judged against the New England market midpoint — the same yardstick the live board uses. For distances from you, ZIP search, and price alerts, head to the full board.
