I've been paying $10 per bale. Of course, that is just for the baling itself. That is not including mowing and raking or swathing, and moving bales off the feild. I do all else, except the actual baling myself.
I'm going to make a notation here. I think the guy I hire to do this, is a touch cheap. I'm sure anyone else locally would be higher, if I had to get somebody else. I've hired this same guy (and his son) for many years. And, ... we haven't negotiated any price adjustment for this year (fuel and inflation). Not that there would be any negotiating. That would just be a matter of him telling me he's going up a couple bucks, and me telling him to come on over anyways. This guy also lives close by, and I am probably one his preferred customers. Some of his other customers can't count bales, or horse around getting him paid.
I might add, that getting a guy to show up to bale hay when you need them to, is huge! Especially on alfalfa hay. A guy that won't show up when you need him to, or not be there when he said he would, will just ruin your hay. Alfalfa can get to dry to bale, if you don't bale it when it's tuff (it'll lose all of its leaves). And of course dry un-baled hay getting rained on is not good, no matter what kind of hay. Nothing worse than a baler guy that won't show up. You can prick around with a no show guy on other things such painting your house, or spraying your pasture. But you just can't deal with a no show guy, when it comes to baling hay.

In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
