Determined- Sorry, I should have gone into more detail...This one field will produce between 37 to 42 small round bales(~750 lbs.) per cutting.
Small rounds sell for minimum of $20 per bale. So, average 40 bales for this one field X $20 per bale= $800.
Usually, things are done on 1/3 here. 1/3 to landowner and 2/3 to cropper.
So, 1/3 of $800 is $240 X 3 cuttings= $720. When you add up the rest of my fields...it does come to a sum of money.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
