[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 900746, member: 14334"] Having your own equipment means you are independent. Waiting for contractors does not help if you have a season where you only have one week of dry. You will find all the farms around here will virtually cut on the same day as it is the day that the weather allows. They dry their hay, make their hay, put it away and then it rains again. Which is perfect as no need for the irrigator. Not so those without their own equipment, the contractors can only do so much in a day, which means they can only do so much in a week, so by the time they get to the next door neighbour's place it has rained and they have missed their opportunity. Also when you start off in the hay business it is better to have your own cattle while you go through the learning process of your machinery and how it is done. The cattle get the bales too light, too heavy, too dry, too damp, too big, too small. They don't seem to mind. [/QUOTE]
