Made some round bale haylage the other week, but then got a call to say the lad who owns the 16 acres I've been given for last couple of years needs it himself this year as he's short of grass, though hvae been offered another ten acres somewhere else it'll be velcro trouser time and I'll need a brave baler man any volunteers? :001_cool::laugh1:

Sounds like I need to get into the hay making business:w00t:

 

Can someone please advise me on...

 

What equipment do I need?

Where to buy it at the cheapest price?

How much land do I need?

Who has available land by me?

How much will it be?

How do I advertise to sell it?

Can I use someone elses photos of them at work as I have none?

How much money can I make?

 

An finally how do I do it?

 

Thanks in advance:thumbup1:

 

Actually can someone just do it all for me then hand it over for me to run?

hmmmm

 

this hay making lark seems easier than the forestry

 

"The rate is £9 tonne for logs and bars, £13 for fencing and £6 for chip. As you get paid for what you cut down then you can do how every many days in the week you like to work around yourself. You will have to supply your own fuel.

 

you will get paid every 2 weeks and when your wood is extracted out of the woodland"

 

i've been told it takes around an hour to bale 1000 smale bails, not including cutting and spinning before hand though

all i can say is, if hay earnt me lots of money, i wouldnt do logs, likewise... if logs earnt me lots, i wouldnt do the hay, they both earn some money, not lots though, ive heard tree surgery is where all the easy money is, can anyone here tell me whats involved in setting up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:001_tt2::001_tt2::thumbup:
