[QUOTE="M-5, post: 1399619, member: 23550"] Up until last yr. I traded labor and a few other things for hay and paid 20$ a roll for it. I worked just as hard and the time committed if I was doing everything myself. when I bought the little piece of property I got all the equipment and made all the hay basically right by myself( had a little help a couple times when rain was coming ) I had less the 20$ per roll in the hay. It was fair quality due to weather but that's the gamble. Because of what I paid for the property v/s the land value the equipment was not in the loan. If I had to buy equipment and factor the cost then your looking at a lot more to make that roll of hay. YES I understand that in the scheme of things Im paying for the equipment with the land loan but if I wanted I could cash all of that out today. my point is Your going to have just as much time in helping as you would doing it yourself. The risk can be greater than the reward but sometimes the reward wins. I personally enjoy the time in the hay fields to me its better than a week on a vacation. A lot of my most vivid memories growing up come from the hay fields sometimes the value cant be monetized . [/QUOTE]
