Haying time!

If I have hay already put up in my barns and someone wants to buy hay, then I charge more because I loaded it out of the field myself and stacked it in the barn.

Yup, that's how we do it as well. Also, the fields we cut are pretty small, my fields are probably the biggest we do and they aren't very big, plus they are wicked steep...small and/or steep fileds make for pulling a wagon behind the baler a tricky proposition. Plus we don't use huge equipment either, my Massey could probably handle it but my partners Ford...?

I don't like working on steep hills.. Especially pulling a hay-wagon behind a baler, but I've done it a lot of times.
