Commodity: Limestone, a sedimentary rock that is dominantly composed of the calcium-bearing carbonate minerals calcite and dolomite. Calcite is chemically calcium carbonate (formula CaCO3). Dolomite is chemically calcium-magnesium carbonate (formula CaMg(CO3)2).n calcite, carbonate is chemically combined with calcium to form calcium carbonate (formula CaCO3). In dolomite, carbonate is chemically combined with calcium and the element magnesium (symbol Mg) to form calcium-magnesium carbonate (formula CaMg(CO3)2).
That is as little as $10.00 to $15.00 for mix grass baled in 1,000 to 1,200 round hay bales. The going price in my area to cut, rake, and bale this hay in 1,000 to 1,200 pound rolls is $10.00 per bale. Wow! Kentucky farmers are making a killing, if they sell these round hay bales for $10.00.
When you calculate what your hay costs will be, remember that you are buying it BY THE BALE as this is the legal method of selling hay. To calculate price per ton: Divide 2000 by the weight of the bales, then multiply that by the price of the bale. For example: 2000(one ton) / 80(average bale weight) x $10(price per bale) = $250.
