[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1453121, member: 19817"] I'll agree you shouldn't make false promises and I never promise anybody anything when you have to deal with mother nature. I told about 200 acres worth of loyal customers that I was sorry and mother nature won and I couldn't get their hay made, also have close to 200 acres of $$$/bale leased ground that I paid the landowner based on the last 3 years of average production and the hay will remain standing, then a 150 acres worth I told the landowners to find somebody else (albeit I told them in early August after they called me non stop about their hay when they knew we were getting 10+" of rain a week at times). Having said that if it was me and I was baling on shares you can bet I would be out baling nice second crop over a field of late 1st with golden rod in it for sure. A 2/3 share of a field with weeds isn't worth much to the producer unfortunately (round here golden rod is present by late June or early July if it isn't spray and controlled early on, if just gets "golden" about now). Any who that's the last I'll say about it, since I don't know this producers situation. Just know how hard it can be being "the hay guy". [/QUOTE]
