[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 735992, member: 7795"] Don't be to narrow minded on that. Equipment cost can be exorbanant or they can be quite reasonable. New or used........the prices vary greatly. I agree that many can buy hay much cheaper than they can buy hay. But I know for a fact, as along as I keep my fertilization costs under control, I'll raise and bale a much better quality of hay than I can find to buy at a reasonable and affordable price. My baling partner and I rolled a little over 300 bales last year. I know we came out ahead........and our equipment didn't cost $75,000. A reasonable price for the man rasing it and an affordable price for the one buying it is a very thin line now days and quite frankly, neither is makeing much. Personally, I am nearing the crossroad of "efficient" use of land by raising and baling my own. I'm also at the crossroad of "what is the use of even owning cattle you have to raise and find forage for when at the end of the year you have so little to show for it. Seems stupid on both ends of the argument. Fun is fun, but their is a limit to what fun is. [/QUOTE]
