[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1732838, member: 25884"] Here we do 2/3 to 1/3 if we do the fertilizing, and all the hay equipment is ours and we do the work. Sometimes 3/4 to 1/4th (for the owners). That is on rented places. We do not do any deals on land we own. Any that we make on our land is normally first cutting for us, rolled; and 2nd cutting on good fields is sq baled and alot is sold. We are going to cut some fertilizer this year on some of the pastures that we have been improving... and any of the land we make hay on just to get the hay. Since we use alot of litter, we are still getting the same amount but it has gone up about $5/ton delivered I think son said. Maybe $8/ton. So in the $35-40 ton now. We are planning to cut our corn from about 20 acres to 10 acres this year. We do corn in rotation to renovate some of the orchard grass hayfields when they get weedy or johnson grass gets into them. Might put in some roundup ready alfalfa to help kill off the johnson grass in the one field and get some decent hay .... corn is going to just cost way too much this year. [/QUOTE]
