Move to Maine... specifically near Belfast.  I'm getting 40# bales of  
excellent timothy/brome for $2.50 out of the barn and $2.25 out of the  
field.  Of course, if you want alfalfa around here, good luck...  
you'll have to ship it in.

Right now our gas prices are higher than the national average, though.
