Nick, a lot of good suggestions and ideas here. Been doing this for 40 plus years. have made every mistake that can be made and still make them. Wife makes all of the sales and she is tuff on people. Pay up front or no load. We get $7.00 per bale out of the barn and $5.00 behind the baler. Do not lack for customers. Some have been with us for most of the time. We do custom work also. $3.00 per bale on the ground. Everybody says that we are the highest priced for custom work but we are also the busiest of anybody. My part time turned into a full time job. Not getting rich but we are comfortable with what we do. Do it right and just don't get carried away buying new equipment. That is what makes most people not make any money. Have seen guys do that and then their equipment is either up for sale or has been repossed because they don't make enough money to cover the payments. Takes a good customer base as BillVa says. Make good hay and have no problems. Cash only even if they are the best of buds. This keeps them good friends. One complaint can lose you a lot of business. Same price for everybody. No exceptions. You can make it work. Lots of good help here so listen and ask questions. Most everybody here will help if you ask. Good luck in whatever you decide.
