[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6954335, member: 348"] I’ve agreed to sell mowing grass to a near neighbour by the bale, as he’s expanding his dairy herd at home. He’s doing all the harvest work, just buying a standing crop. No way it will do 10 bales an acre of ‘milking cow’ silage, but more likely 6/ac this year, cut at that stage (sheep grazed it hard through April). I’m not charging him £10/bale, but I won’t have several £k of contractors baling charges for a stack of several hundred bales that were worth bugger all to sell last winter. I chose to sit on them, so I don’t need any more myself, and still have several hundred to sell. I’d rather charge a bit less to someone I know will pay, I know will cart it in reasonable time and who I’d like to have a long term agreement with. All worth money imo. [/QUOTE]
