BaleWise tracks 40 hay sellers in South Carolina — 30 with listed prices, verified July 25, 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 $267–400 per US ton across 8 priced listings, with a midpoint of $338/ton. Sticker prices run $6.00–$9.00 per bale — bale weight is what moves the true cost. Large squares: one priced listing at $48/ton. Round bales: $94–282/ton across 20 priced listings.
