Here you go... I round baled 137 4x5 mixed alfalfa grass (timothy) on 3 fields plus a 90% vernal alfalfa field behind the barn. All in 4x5 net wrapped rounds and all was pre sold prior to making. I pre sell everything every year now. I used to run small squares with my sold New Holland 575 High Capacity square bailer but I sold it last spring on Tractor House. 12.5 cash. I'm too old to fiddle with idiot cubes anymore. Way too much manual labor and way too hard finding help too. Kids today don't want to work so it's net wrapped 4x5 rounds and I can do everything with 2 tractors and little hooking up and unhooking any more. One cab tractor handles the mower and the bailer. The other pulls the rake (Kuhn Rotary) and the has the bale spears, one in front, one in back to load them on semi trailers.I am sooo looking foward to getting into the fields this year!
Got a new Kubota lined up for raking hay and other small chores and for a new wood hauler.
Oh how i love farming!!!!!!!!!!!
Idiot cubes do pay better but net rounds yield a pretty good profit today anyway and when you factor in the lesser amount of grief involved, they really pay pretty good.
