[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 562134, member: 7956"] Some real good advice here. If you want to charge $8/bale, 10 bales would earn you $80. Surely you could sell 3 bales of hay for $26.66/per bale? But, if you have to move the hay, haul, that opens a whole new can of worms. In my area, everyone has 5 x 6 balers, and I am charging $11 per net wrapped bale this year, and that probably isn't enough. Guy that does a fair amount is charging $12. I can easily bale 10 bales/acre, and up to 25 if the hay is heavy and in good going. More than that if the windrows are double up. Whatever you want to charge, make it worth your while. Farmers don't get paid for their time in a lot of situations. And baling 800 acres will take some time. Alot of variables to consider if you are getting 30% of the hay. However, if you don't want the hassle of dealing with moving, loading, etc. of your portion of the hay, tell the people that you are baling for that you know someone who would like to buy some of the hay. That way, you can charge what you want per bale, they can sell some of the hay they don't need, and hopefully pay your baling bill!! [/QUOTE]
