Just finished combining my wheat for the season. Real disappointing yield. Anyway I just now read all your responses. So I will answer a few of your questions. When state hyway was built in 1936 they leased the land from the farmer. Then when they expanded to four lane 6 years ago they bought the right away. County, some is owned by farmer and some the county bought. and township farmer still owns to middle of road. Yes we are suppose to fill out a permit and provide certificate of insurance for one million dollars insurance which some years I do and some years I don't. We are encouraged to wait cutting until after pheasant hatch August first but as mentioned law never passed. There are volunteer groups that go through ditch twice a year and pickup trash in exchange for a sign recognizing them. So the only real trash is beer cans and the baler usually tumbles them along until they finally roll off to the side. State roads are seeded with a alfalfa/clover/grass mix so it is real nice hay. I am baling and selling all the hay as I don't have any cattle or horses. Most everyone baling around here is selling it to horse people as there is no cattle for 30 mile around Mankato. Alfalfa is hard to raise around here as it is too humid and takes to long to dry down. The horse people don't want alfalfa anyway. They want grass and land right around Mankato is selling for 20,000-30,000/acre and renting for 250-350/.acre so you cannot afford to raise grass on it. I have built a quite a clientele over the years selling small squares of straw so since I have the hay equip anyway I put up 5 to 10 thousand bales of ditch and meadow hay a year. At $4.00/bale I do alright. Sell most right off the wagon so only have to handle once. If customer wants to pick off ground they save 50 cents bale. So, what do you think now?
