Our son has a bunch to sell, but he always sells out before putting up more.

Did some little grass bales for the neighbors they take them on fall roundup so the horses have feed at night after gathering cattle kind of fun to bale but a pita otherwise.

Look like they might be really good brats. My wife loves 'em with sauerkraut. As far as I'm concerned, you can have the fermented cabbage, I'll eat my brats with a kettle mustard & my cabbage as coleslaw.

Yellow Dodge running OK, or it in the truck hospital yet? I think you said it developed a radiator issue, or did I miss something.

They would be really good but to much jalapeño for me . Yellow truck is waiting on a starter at the moment . I liked spoiled cabbage for awhile but don’t like it anymore

40$ seems to be the going rate could have asked for a little more but i traded for the straw and I’m still running twine that came with the baler when I traded for it so not whole lot of expense involved

If bales are 300 lbs, price per bale is about $5 each? My math correct? I suppose location applies to commodities too. We get $5 for a 40lb bale delivered to the horse folks here, in winter season. I would like to bale and sell more straw but there is tons of it available around here and most people switched to sawdust or pine shavings years ago. Straw gets combined here late June, early July. The BTO plants 2nd crop beans so I get about 1 day to get as much as possible.

do you even get your fuel and twine paid for at that price. I am selling round bales at $42 delivered and am clearing $4 -5 a bale after expenses.

You know I been thinking the same thing all night since I read this. I bale mine up 40lb. small squares and sell to yuppies for $7/bale. At $35/ton I would only be getting .70/bale. Granted there is much more labor in small squares but still. I've always said, if I can't make any money doing a certain field operation, I will just leave the tractor in the shed.
