[QUOTE="Ted M, post: 6954312, member: 16272"] If you take the average price of a silage bale at around £20+, putting in rough contractor costs (mow, ted, rake, bale) will work out minimum £10/bale on a 10 bale /acre crop. Fertiliser can easily be £30/acre which leaves you around £7 for just the grass. Obviously not many 10 bale crops around this year so £10 for the grass may turn out cheap. Lots of variables to consider obviously. Our £90/acre seems a lot on the face of it but when you take the fert into the equation and the fact it neighbours our own ground hopefully it won't be too bad as long as the crop is half decent ?. Personally I would be happier with a £10 bale charge as I doubt it will do nine... [/QUOTE]
