And I can't afford the extra 3 hours a day beating the ice off bales in order to remove twine nor do I expect my crew to.
Rural King and Ag Supply has 20k for $20 right now. I'm sure our Vermeer dealer will be a few of dollars higher, but such is life.M-5":27guxya6 said:Just checked at my dealer and poly 20 roll is 34.00 , he said they would be running a special in month or so.

I'm with you on that Gcreek. On top of that, just wait until the discbine gathers some poly that was missed at feeding time up under the turtles and takes out seals and bearings. Cattle prices need to be good to deal with that, not even counting down time.

So what price point does it take before you say no more? $100 a bundle? $120? What if we were back at $800 calves?
