Okay guys, I'm new to this small square baling thing and have a couple of questions. A local farmer approached me with a small grass patch of 3-4 acres. He wanted me to mow/condition, rake and small square it on the ground. I think I got close to cost per hour or acre from NE state custom rates. Does anybody have a rule of thumb on a per small square basis for these services. When I add the per hour or per acre rates for each plus the .50 cents per bale, a flat rate for travel time and a fuel surcharge I'm coming up with a total of $1.53 per bale for these services rendered. Am I even in the ball park guys?? I don't want to jab the guy, but at the same time I don't want to do this just for charity. HELP! Am I close here?
Thanks
DJL
