[QUOTE="George Monk, post: 867087, member: 3545"] I custom bale and charge $25 to mow rake and bale. I am going broke doing it. A good friend and I were just talking about custom farming. A new baler is about 40k wore out at 8000 bales some salvage 10k so those 8000 bales are close to $40/bale without gas, tractor, or operator. So fair is usually in favor of the owner. If I bale on shares it is 1/2 and 1/2. A neighbor wanted me to mow/rake/bale some second cut clover one year. Figured maybe 2 bales to acre. I wanted to help him out 'cause he is a great fenceline neighbor. Offered to do it for $20/bale. He didn't think he could afford that and asked me to do it for less. Hay is a real tough commodity to make money on. [/QUOTE]
