My neighbor asked me to cut the grass hay on a field that he just bought from another neighbor's estate. I rolled up about forty 600 pound bales. I want to pay him a fair price for this hay. I took four of the bales across the scale at the local quarry, so I'm comfortable with the bale weight. I did all of the mowing, raking, baling, and hauling. My equipment is old and long paid for, but reliable. He owns the property, and it was probably fertilized by the previous owner, but can't be confirmed. This field is about a quarter mile from home, and he says he'd like me to make the hay in the future. He's a good helpful neighbor, and I want to treat him well. I haven't done any custom baling in the last thirty years, so I'm out of touch. My expenses were twine and about 15 gallons of gasoline.
Any suggestions?
