[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 806991, member: 968"] WOW - am I glad my custom bale guy/neighbor/friend doesn't have a computer. :shock: You guys got me thinking, so I pulled all the figures. We don't own any hay equipment except the spears on my tractor. I figured the rent on the hay ground, hay crew & equipment charges & fertilizer = $19.53/bale + fuel (hard to figure the fuel, because they just arrive full & we keep them full and don't keep tract of gallons.) This is baleage. So, that's cut, raked (some), hauled, & wrapped. (I'm free!!! - I load & wrap the bales). We have always believed a beef operation can't afford to own & maintain hay equipment - especially when hubby works off farm. And, I'm fortunate, my guy comes when hay is ready. He just does a few neighbors. [/QUOTE]
