Back ground
Ok I started taking over the family farm from my grate uncle 07. in 2010 I disked the bottom land 20 acres and started digging and repairing the old clay field tile. 7 days in to doing this the previous tenet showed up while my grate uncle was drunk and struck another 5 year contract. I know this contract would not hold up in cort but I'm trying to not rock the boat. The deal went like this my uncle buys all seed and furtlizer and he puts it in and on the ground. Each year it is refurtlized and my uncle pays for it. He cuts rakes and bales the hay and he gets 50% of it. But I know he is charging double each time. (I also do hay on other farms.) but my uncle doesn't want to hear it. Well each year we should get 3 cuttings but the way he is doing it were only getting 2. (Late cuttings.) this year at 30 days late I started cutting it. It's 75% clover and it was all flat on the ground. I have a hay bine that would pick it up he doesn't. He threw a fit that I was cutting his hay and said he will rake and bale it. 3 days later he was still a no show. So I raked and baled it all. It's thick and it made 117 4x5 round bales. We have 35 head and need a lot hay each winter but the way he's been doing it each year were running out. Also to day he is 43 days late and he still hasn't showed up to do others hay befor or after our hay field. Last year he only brought us 40 bales. Well he is demanding his 50% of the hay so what is a fair ratio to give him?
