Posted by farmweld on January 27, 2005 at 10:07:27 from (198.234.252.9):

my father grandfather n i farm about 400 acres, with generally 80-100 in wheat. we had a guy bale the straw last summer and a friend of ours wanted about 100 bales for horses. this guy wanted to charge 2.00 a bale for OUR straw. i was plantin double crop soybeans and ridning on the back of the drill was my father. he counted that this guy could kick out a bale every ten seconds, this means he cold have baled these 100 bales in what, in about 2 hours, and he wanted to charge 2.00 each. said he had 5.00/ hr in labor and .40/ bale in wire.

last week he called and wanted to bale straw this year, too. we all basicly told him, yea, right. (we had already found a friend that usually bales for us, anyway.)
