We have a farm and are looking to donate hay instead of selling it.  Can we deduct that on our farm taxes?  If so, is their a maximum we can donated and deduct?  Also, what price do we use for the donation?

Yes, we are.

If you donate property other than cash to a qualified organization, you may generally deduct the fair market value of the property.   However, see Limitations on Deductions in this IRS reference:

Do these deductions get deducted from my Sch F or as an itemized deductions on Sch A.  I believe we could use the FMV of the hay.

Schedule A, as an itemized deduction.
