Price reduction for pickup from field

Guess this has been asked before but typically what do you deduct when customer picks up from field. If I was to pickup and stack in shed I'd be asking $4.00.
 

Can't answer your ??? But something that happened to a neighbor wasn't real nice.... He made a deal with someone like you are talking about. Baled the hay and left it for the "customer" to pick up that afternoon. They didn't show and it started raining early evening for 3 days... "customer" refused hay because it was rained on and the neighbor ate almost 400 bales of the nicest hay you ever saw....

You may wanna make sure you get paid up front...

Good luck......
 
If I want 4.00 at the barn I want 4.00 in the field.
See Dave's post for the reason why...
I do't place a large cost on storage... at least in a sense I don't.
The main reason I don't discount for 'off the field' hay is quite simply because I don't want to sell hay off the field. You get the ones that don't show... then you get the ones that waste half your day when you need to get your own hay in... then the ones that want your help (free of charge) because they can't get it all in before the rain...
So I plan on hauling it off myself. If they show up and pay the price they get the hay. If not, I haul it to the barn.
I'll let somebody else win the race to the bottom with cheap hay.

In this case this guy is a "regular" has been buying from me for sometime.. He NEEDS hay and just told me he'd come take it out of the field.. so i fugured if I dont have to toss that should be worth something...
 
For the people than come back year after year and pay always in full. $ 3.50 in the field and then its a quarter in and a quarter out,4 bucks from the barn. It cost money to put it in the barn and take it out later. just my 25 cents. steve
 
We do it for 50 cents less out of the field. I never leave more in the field than I could pick up before the end of the day, and if the customer doesn't show I start putting it away. I have had some real lowlife customers, but some good ones too.

I sell a fair amount out of the field. I discount $.25 from the off the wagon price, and I add $.50 for delivery into their barn. I have just three wagons to load which is about 350 worth so I depend on my out-of-the-field customers to pick up a fair amount. I almost trust my customers to come and get it but in order to be safe I always have two or three coming so in case one is a no show there are others that want it. I have some that have been coming for twenty years or so.

Have them call back to your answering machine and confirm the order (reduced price for field pickup) and in their call back they shall stipulate that the bales are theirs and all responsibility for them is accepted. State the number of bales. And that cash will be tendered before removal of bales. Further have them state that the hay will be removed by X date, or storage charges will apply. Jim
 
here"s a question, if you have wagons and a kicker, why not throw it on the wagons? I never sold out of the field but I did off the wagon. All the same to me and alot safer. I told the guy when I was baling, if he hadn"t shown up, we would put it in the barn, they could try again next time.
 
I wont drop a bale in the field unless they have paid atlest half down , I have had to pickup for the noshows before . If they are planning on paying you it should not be a problem to give you the money a few days ahead . $.25 most times I have went $.50 .
