[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1604408, member: 27848"] Another couple of things, re-reading the post. Having your own equipment means your field(s) get baled when they are ready and "Mother Nature" lets you......not when a hired crew "gets around to it" and if they are good they are usually busy so who knows when..... Square bales are a burden to a small time (single person) operator, especially in second guessing the weather, getting it out of the field, having a place to store it, ensuring you get it cut right (weather cooperating) and you get it put up at the right moisture level so that you don't have a fire or moldy bales. Used to be you could arrange with the local high school to have a pool of youths to do the handling for you for a decent wage for them and reasonable cost to you. Those days are long gone for several reasons!!!!!! Rained on squares are good for........erosion control if you can find a buyer. [/QUOTE]
