[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 686053, member: 8829"] not when you figure you have almost $12 per bale in expenses ie...fuel, twine wear and tear on equipment and then labor on top of that and I know you can't figure labor but if you don't you are only kidding yourself to make the #s look better before hiring anyone to do certain jobs I figure if I can be making as much or more money than it cost by doing something else while they are working for me Unless you bale lots of hay or have to pay outrageous prices for baling than most times it is cheaper to either hire it done or 8 out of 10 yrs you can buy your hay cheaper if you are only feeding 100-200 bales because if you are not raising hay you can run more cows and also spend less money on fertilizer I want to know how many bales to the acre are you guys getting when you are paying $20-25 pr bale for baling [/QUOTE]
