I thought a 50/50 split was good or maybe a slight bit more to him. Guess it is sometimes hard to do business with friends/neighbors.
I was looking at it even at $25 hay he would be getting $12.50 baling, maybe give him some extra for using his rake and hauling my tractor the 15 miles. I can buy hay within 4 miles of the farm for $25-28.
If he is baling for a third with the price of fuel he is to dumb to be doing business with :cowboy: In my part of the world it is hard to find anyone with RELIABLE equipment to even do it for half! I would walk away from this deal and buy the hay elsewhere.
