[QUOTE="upfrombottom, post: 806938, member: 13088"] I kinda meant that as a joke. Last year I was at a meeting and had an extended talk with a Dr. from the University of Arkansas, in which the bulk of the conversation was him telling me to sell my hay equipment and purchase any hay that I needed from a custom baler. He kept telling me that there was no way that baling hay was cost effective. I never told the guy that I custom bale and sell alot of hay to several of the people at the meeting. I did have a couple of guys come up to me afterwards and ask if he talked me into quiting. He wasn't telling me anything that I didn't already know. If your primary business isn't hay production, it is very hard economically, to justify the time and expense it takes to do it right. If you just took the time itself and used it on other things around the farm that needed attention, you will be way ahead of any cost savings you would have gotten baling your own. [/QUOTE]
