[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1585915, member: 14585"] The numbers add up. 11 per bale $3.12 per bale for mowing & condition (your good yield helped to keep the price down) $1.60 per bale to wrap (I would have guessed $3 a bale to wrap) $15.72 per bale harvested And neighbor got paid $80.63 acre to harvest 80 acres of 1st crop hay. So the burning question is: Will your neighbor bother to pay his property taxes? Let's compare it with harvesting corn. Custom combining 30 - $35 acre (National average $33) 200 bushel corn x 15 cents a bu. hauling to local elevator to dry and store = $30 acre to transport Let's pay extra for combining and give our guy $40 acre. $40 acre combining + $30 acre to haul off the field = $70 acre Harvesting hay $80 acre (1st crop only) Harvesting corn $70 acre hmmm.... seems to me maybe New York should raise their property taxes... :) [/QUOTE]
