What hay costs in Maryland
BaleWise tracks 30 hay sellers in Maryland — 7 with listed prices, verified July 26, 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 $356–840 per US ton across 5 priced listings, with a midpoint of $457/ton. Sticker prices run $8.00–$42.00 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Round bales: one priced listing at $100/ton.
Fair-price verdicts below are judged against the Mid-Atlantic market midpoint — the same yardstick the live board uses. For distances from you, ZIP search, and price alerts, head to the full board.
