Default Re: Custom Haying - Dealing With Large Orders?

Offer a reduced rate for hay "in the field". Let buyers pick it up.

New Holland stackliner. Makes handling large volumes of baled hay a one man job. You just have to have buildings that will accomodate the machine.

For a "start-up" operation, I'd suspect you're biting off a mighty big chunk there. It's good to have lofty goals, but they need to be with-in reason or a great idea can become a disaster as fast as the weather can change.
