[QUOTE="jka300, post: 616311, member: 8260"] The reason I can say my cost is around $6 - $8 a bale is because of the following reasons. All of our machinery has been debt free since I can remember. We don't put fertilizer on our hay fields because we don't need to. Our fields love to grow hay, we average 3 - 4 bales an acre right until we plow it up. Our fuel runs around $0.97 a litre, locked it in. My dad was a mechanic for John Deere, all repairs we can do and plus we can get discounts on parts. Also we haven't had a brake down since we parted way with my uncle's farm, wonder why? :x Our hay fields are all close to our farm, the furthest one is 1 km. As for the seed part, we always seed grain with our hay mixes, so the grain pays for all the expense to seed it. I should also clear up what the $6 is for. We do some custom straw baling for our neighbour. I can give a big list of reasons why it's only $6 expense for us but I will just stop at saying he helps with expenses. [/QUOTE]
