[QUOTE="Boysground, post: 7292572, member: 610"] I have had a number of different agreements with people to go maize for me over the years. As [USER=54866]@ollie989898[/USER] says the most important factor by far is mind set and wanting the job to work. For harvest 21 I have 3 agreements all different. 1 grows a fixed area for a fixed price per ton does all the work himself but I pay for seed and harvest. We have had this arrangement for at least 15 years. He has a supply of chicken muck and does have some fym from me and grows the best crop 9 years out of 10 Next one I pay per acre but I do all the work myself. Invoice as contractor and purchaser. He uses the same agronomist as me and we have never argued about chemical use. I do have a straw for muck agreement with him. Finally the last one grows the crop all his decisions and work. Gets put in a clamp and we pay per ton of dm when we use it. It goes over a weigh bridge. This chap is a very large, very good arable farmer but does tend to want to get wheat in quickly so the dm system works well. Everyone is very happy and I can see all the agreements continuing Bg [/QUOTE]
