[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1034797, member: 14713"] I'm contemplating hiring my cousin to help me hay. She would be driving my rake tractor. I proposed trading her labor for hay with no money changing hands and she agreed. For this illustration, I figured her labor @ $13/hr and my hay @ $100/ton. Bales weighing 1300 lbs @ $100/ton = $65 each. So she earns 1 bale for every 5 hours she works. ($13/hr x 5hrs = $65) I would pay her from the moment she leaves home and drives about 7 miles to my hayfield in her own vehicle until she returns home. Maybe knock off an hour for dinner. Seems the deal is fair to both of us. Could double or halve the value of labor and hay and the 5hrs = 1 bale would still stand. [/QUOTE]
