HAY = STRAW
Don't use HAY in a Garden, for you will have WEEDS for years to come.
STRAW is good for gardens because the seeds are gone and it will create a cover that prevents weeds from growing.

If you all decide to use Pine Needles as Mulch or as a cover, be certain that your soil can handle it. I have many Pine trees on my land and the soil is SOUR from the acidity from the Pine needles. My garage has an Asphalt Shingle Roof and the Pine Needles that land on it have caused detoriation of the shingles. If your soil has a low acid content, you will be fine, otherwise growing anything except Raspberries could be a problem.
If it isn't Ph it is Acid and if ain't that it is Dry or it is wet and speaking of Wet, Here in the Northeast the Farmers are in Hell. Usually the Corn is Knee High by the fourth of July and currently many farmers are Knee Deep and are planting 75 day corn. Many don't even have their First Hay Crop in and the Loggers haven't been in the Woods since Late March. We are really wet up here, way too much rain and for those who planted Early it is rotting in the ground. Bad year. Farmers need Silage and the Fast Growing Hay is just Belly Filler, very little Protein.
So if it ain't one thing it is another.

Actually we tried Lime, 5-10-5, 10-10-10 and every mixture and concoction that Agway and Blue Seal carried. What worked really well for me and allowed for Grass to grow within a year where grass refused to grow before, was NIGHT CRAWLERS, I threw maybe 5,000 or more NITE CRAWLERS in the cleared areas ( 1.5 acres) and in the garden and by the next year I had grass growing where I had tried to get it to grow for at least 10 years prior. I have Robins now and never had them before.

You don't need to look at it as if your are going toget Ripped.
He is cutting the Hay as a service to you and you are allowinghim to do it as a service to him. Have him make you an offer that he feels he should pay you per bale.
At least that way your field gets cut each year and you have a cut field, a clean field and some jing in your pockets. Don't look to get rich off of a hay Cut. Keep the relation with farmer a good one, he may sell you beef cheap or milk ir be around to return the courtsey many times over. People ar elike that, treat them right and the will treat you right.
