[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1440544, member: 4362"] Talked to a friend who is in the business and he said you might want to look at doing it a couple ways. First, he said if he sells a bale to a feed store say for $5.00 they add a $1.00 to it just for handling it and they sell it for $6.00. Since you are going to be loading it you'll be handling it and need that $1.00. Then delivery is by the mile so you figure the miles but if its close you might just hide the delivery charge in the delivered price and get $2.00 delivered and stacked so there is the $3.00 like you figured. However, the way he prefers to do it is get his $5 up front at the barn and he puts them in contact with one of his guys and they make arrangements on delivery and stacking and the buyer pays this separately. This way he knows the money is good before the delivery is made so if he gets stuck he won't get stuck for the hay, delivery and labor and he doesn't have to deal with the drama that sometimes occurs with stuff like this. Also, doing it this way his "guys" turn into pretty good hay salesmen for him. [/QUOTE]
