What hay costs in Michigan
BaleWise tracks 52 hay listings in Michigan, 45 with listed prices, checked October 21, 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.
4×5-and-under rounds run $30.00 to $90.00 a bale across prices from 10 sellers, with a midpoint of $50.00.
Verdicts on the board above compare a listing against other Midwest 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 Michigan only. Buying near a state line? The full Midwest board includes sellers just over it.
