I just registered today, and I need to become an expert in a hurry.
I have a small beef farm in northern Florida. I am told it can support around 3 dozen cattle. I need to get an agricultural project going so I can get a massive reduction in my property tax.
I was planning to have a guy cut my hay and leave it at that, but he says he's interested in putting cattle on the property. I wouldn't get any income from hay, but if I put cattle on the land, I will make a few dollars, and the cattle will help with the weeds and brush.
Here's my problem: I have no idea what to charge this guy. He says he'll mend the fences and do all the work. He expects to pay something. I don't have any farmer friends I can consult. Any ideas?
