Did you just seed, or did you prep the ground
too? If so, how much prep did it take?

I have a neighbor who has me windrow his
5-10 acres of oats the last 2 years. I kinda ask
him for $5 an acre to cover fuel, & he kinda
writes a check for $10-12 an acre. We both
seem pretty happy. My swather is so old it
doesn't have a serial number, no need to
depreciate any more! :)

If this was a 1-time deal, $40 should cover
your expenses & might set you up for a favor in
return. if this is more of a business deal or
you'll be getting more folks pestering you for
such work, you best figure out your expenses
& start-up costs (travel & set-up, which can
cost more in wear on tires & high-speed
rattling & insurance that the actual work on 4
acres!) and get some rates set up for yourself.
An extention office will have 'standard' rates for
such operations, but small-acre horse setups
should be doubled or have a starting fee, to
cover those set-up expenses.
