Nationwide hay marketplace
Find, price, and ship hay across the country.Every bale. Every state.
Balehaul turns the patchwork of Craigslist posts, Facebook hay-sale groups, and legacy listing boards into one searchable, transacted supply chain — with live price-per-ton benchmarks, freight quotes, drought-aware matching, and escrow-protected payment built in.

Why Balehaul
One workflow for the booking, the haul, and the money.
Listing-only platforms leave the margin on the table. Balehaul owns the load end to end — so the price you see is the price the hauler and the farmer agree on, and the payment releases on delivery confirmation, not a phone call.
- 01
List or search
Sellers post tonnage, RFV, and load location; buyers filter by forage, distance, and price per ton.
- 02
Match with freight
Integrated ag haulers quote the lane — on-farm pickup or delivered. Distance and rate shown side by side.
- 03
Ship and settle
Balehaul Pay holds funds in escrow and releases on delivery confirmation. No handshakes, no IOU notes.
Forage coverage
Six forage types, indexed with a live national benchmark.
Spot prices update as listings settle. Region-specific benchmarks surface when drought summers reshape the strip.
Timothy
Cool-season grass — horse standard.
Prairie grass
Native blend, drought-tolerant — Western rangeland.
Feeder hay
Workhorse ration for cow-calf operations.
For buyers
Escrow that releases on delivery, not a handshake.
Funds are held when you book. Balehaul Pay releases them only after both sides confirm the load arrived — no wire-and-pray to a stranger, no IOU spreadsheet at the kitchen table.
- Funds held at booking
- Released on delivery confirm
- Disputes routed to a human mediator
- Verified RFV/NDF/protein included
For sellers
List free. Compliance is handled at checkout.
Every interstate load runs through Balehaul’s compliance layer before funds move. If a state combination triggers a bee, pest, or weed-seed quarantine, the lane is flagged with the exact regulation — reroute, document, or split the load at the right crossing.
- Free standard listings
- Verified tier drops RFV data inline
- State-line paperwork surfaced
- Drought-aware reroute alerts
