[QUOTE="novaman, post: 810380, member: 2744"] The biggest concern I have with bringing someone in to bale the hay is availability. The weather often doesn't cooperate and only small windows exist to get hay put up right. A custom guy with a few clients may not get everybodies hay baled before the rain hits. For me this is the biggest disadvantage in my mind. If I have my own baler I can hit that field as soon as it is properly dried. A custom guy may get there but he may not. The other thing is the cost of labor. Nobody wants to work anymore and if they do they want to be getting paid top dollar. I suppose in all fairness I should be paying myself exactly the same as somebody hired in to do the work but in reality it doesn't work that way. I always figure my labor is worth the enjoyment I get from doing what I love. [/QUOTE]
