On our family farm we have a person that bales the pastures for us. We do not have cattle and he does. The arrangement for years has been this. He bales the pastures. Approx 100 bales. Half of the bales are his for doing the baling. The other half he buys from us at a fair price. 6 X 5 bales @ $35.00. Is this a normal arrangement?
The reason I'm asking is I talked to a friend that just bought a farm in mid to southern Mo. and he had his pastures baled for him this summer. Easy ground to bale. No ruff ground or hills. He told me the person that baled his ground baled 220 bales and bought them from him for $5.00 each. Large round, he did not know the size.
So is this a normal arrangement? I'm curious. Is he getting taken or are we getting a good deal on our farm? We all know the common agreements on row crop. Halves, 1/3 - 2/3's, cash rent. Is there a common rule or arrangement for hay ground? Thanks for anyones views or input.
