My area, custom haying is generally done in halves. Landowner gets half, custom hayer gets half. If fertilized, the fertilizer expense is split down the middle, OR, the 50/50 split gets adjusted so whoever paid for fertilizer gets more of the hay. Like, as in, the 50/50 split gets changed to 60/40 or 70/30 depending on what kind of hay/how much fertilizer was put on and what have. Custom hayer usually is responsible for moving/rowing bales to/at edge of field, or being there at the right time to load landowners half on trailers provided either by the landowner or the person buying land owners share. Its not un-common to see custom hayer buy the landowners share after the hay is put up. This way, is about the fairest way to do it for both parties. There is other ways to go about it. Charge by the acre, or by the bale, or a set fee for the entire field still standing. But this type of system usually just entails someone getting screwed. The custom hayer on a bad year. The land owner on a good year. If done on shares, both parties are also splitting the bad down the middle, and not just the good. As others have mentioned, there's no way one person with new state of the art financed equipment and hired employees can hire out by the hour or per bale and be at the same price as another person with older payed for equipment and doing it them self without hired hands. The first guy mentioned has to much overhead and has to be expensive. The second guy mentioned can do it relatively cheap and can undercut the first guy on the deal by far. So, in a nut shell, that college study info put out is highly influenced by what they factored into the equation. Usually they factor in what the first guy mentioned is looking at and will have thier study rates set relatively high to account for it. I have had to pass the last two or three times I tried to hire someone who based thier price on a university study. They were to expensive for my pocket book.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
