How much would one charge to receive someones muck?

[Zippy768]

Odd question, I know.
Muck only to be received - delivered onto field muck pile.
I do not need anymore muck, so I don't wanna take it for free.

 

[Still Farming]

What type of muck.
Tell someone else to have it that needs it?
Muck for straw deal??
Farmers don't like paying the best of times.

 

[Zippy768]

Cattle muck.
From a small holder.
Not very much, but tbh they are taking the pee.

Family

£50 a load

Why do you say they are taking the pee?
Todays world muck has a good value, really you should be paying them to have it

 

[Zippy768]

Don't think that it's a situation where I want to charge a dear family member to take their muck, when they are working so hard on their small holding.

Farm telehandler is currently being used, to load farm trailer, pulled by farm tractor to dump on farm muck heap.
Farm also pays for the water and electric.

So there’s a family member with a small holding, using your tractor, telehandler trailer labour and amenities? I presume you don’t charge them if you’re feeling disgruntled?

why don’t you start charging them the going rate contractor fee for all of the above and have the muck free, if it’s only a little bit you’d never even notice it when it came to spreading…

It’s another of those threads,

Ask a question, but don’t like the answers,

Sounds like it has the potential to create a heck of a fireworks show, can you pop the video of him receiving the invoice on here?

Well not really like that.
Genuinely want to know how much to charge.

One works with a family member as partners on the farm. One family member has a "side hustle" doing almost exactly the same thing as farm does. Uses all the kit and offers no payment or appreciation, then pockets everything they make.
Obviously we can all make money if someone else foots the bill.

Admittedly, I have started this thread as I am pis5ed off right now.

Is the tractor telehandler ect yours or the business

 

[grainboy]

But you asked how much to charge,

but then say you don’t want to charge family members.

Can’t have it both ways,

Oh no. I said I did want to charge for the muck that is dumped in the field

Its too late to be charging for the other things, been going on too long. Lines weren't drawn early enough.

I said "don't think it's a situation" like that.
I.e not a dear family member.
And not working so hard on their small holding

 

[spin cycle]

he's using your share of the kit to give you half of his muck....as long as it's clean....sounds fair?

I don't need or want his muck. The muck in their tunnel is their problem.

Anybody can keep livestock and make money.....if they don't need to worry about muck disposal, don't need to pay for machines, don't pay water or electric.
