BaleWise tracks 46 hay sellers in Massachusetts — 14 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 $244–940 per US ton across 7 priced listings, with a midpoint of $400/ton. Sticker prices run $5.50–$11.99 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Large squares: $325–413/ton across 3 priced listings. Round bales: $167–217/ton across 2 priced listings.
