[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1745448, member: 21075"] No way, but can you pencil with the price of cattle $900+ a ton fertilizer, high property taxes, cost of labor, fencing and everything else going into cattle plus over $30 a bale to bale penciling out. With the cost of equipment, fuel, tractor drivers, repairs etc. also it is hard to pencil out getting much less that $30 a bale to bale and making anything. A decent 80-90 hp tractor is 80k plus and a new baler is 40k. My tractors use over 4 gallons of diesel and hour and there is $200 a ten hour day. [/QUOTE]
