What to charge for baling?

[RCCB]

I have been offered a job to bale some brome grass into small square bales. What is the going rate for wire tie small square bales?

 

[MIKE R]

Probably $1.50 a bale with 50-60lbs bales. Must be a old baler if it uses wire. I personaly like the sisial twine the best.

Are you just baling or mowing and raking as well?

 

[Tx Jim]

I charge $2 to cut rake & bale a 60-65# wire tied bale

I,m just doing the baling. Another area farmer is swathing it.

Then $1 a bale should be acceptable.
