[QUOTE="Springfieldsimm, post: 1821092, member: 42580"] I enjoy this discussion. So this was the first year for us to do much custom and it wasn’t much. I probably custom baled 200 bales and most of those was baling only the customer did the rest. We made about 250 bales for ourselves. We had a good year with very few repairs. So Dad owns the equipment and I work for him. He pays me $25 an hour. We discussed some what we want to charge and we probably aren’t charging enough but for the custom we did this year we probably make enough to pay for our out of pocket cost (fuel, wrap, parts, etc.)for all the hay we made this year ours and custom included. So we have our own hay for no out of pocket cost (just depreciation of equipment) to feed our cows plus we will probably have 100 bales to sell that we don’t need. So I feel we did fine but I also understand we didn’t have any big break downs. [/QUOTE]
