BaleWise tracks 36 hay sellers in Ohio — 34 with listed prices, verified July 22, 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 $89–489 per US ton across 21 priced listings, with a midpoint of $267/ton. Sticker prices run $2.00–$11.00 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Round bales: $44–250/ton across 13 priced listings.
