[QUOTE="JRM, post: 566315, member: 3282"] With a full time job will you be able to bale when you need/have too? You can plan it out perfect to cut one day then say bale on weekend when your customers may be coming and as soon as you get done cutting the weather man has made a 180 degree turn and you have to bale maybe a day earlier that you wanted to. Rain on hay is usually ok to feed to your cows, but with my experince if it rained on no one wants it unless it real cheap. I make a little doing custom work, my equipment is noto that new, but usually do not have any problems and I also got a couple freinds that we all have an agreement to help each other out if we have breakdown. Hay is one commodity that you say what you want for instead of taking a load of grain and getting what they are giving. There are pros and cons to this though as some people will sell hay below production cost and may but pressure on you to lower your price. There is no one simple answer, pros and cons to both. Can you slowly move into hay production and see how that goes before you sell off all your stock? best of luck [/QUOTE]
