Wolfdog91 7,253 Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Good friend of mine has like 86 acres of hay fields around his house. He personally don't cut it. Right now he lets some guys cut and bale as much as they want mainly to keep it cut down. Well I mentioned that not making him any money since me and my folks are buying round bales for up to $50-60 this year. Well he says he'd be happy for someone to give him $1000 a year and they could cut and bale as much as they want . Personally think thats pretty low. He's a really great guy and good friend so I wanna see him do good.So what would y'all say ? Btw this hay is the first cut in 5 years apparently but looks and smells like some good stuff Edited August 15, 2022 by Wolfdog91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
