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.
Baling costs run $9 - $11.50 per large round bale. Hauling and stacking large round bales in the field will add another $2.00 to $3 per bale. Small square bales will cost between 60 and 90 cents to bale. Hauling and stacking small square bales in the field will add a further 50 to 60 cents per bale to the cost. Often, you find a convenience factor of approximately $1/bale attached to small square bales.
