I was charging €11 to mow, bale and wrap including plastic, €9 to bale and wrap including plastic and €6.80 to bale and wrap without supplying plastic. I think those are pretty much the standard prices over most of the country.

contractor who bales for the brother at home charges 6 euro for bailing and wrapping and the farmer buys the plastic plus 20 euro per acre for mowing , so based on an average of 10 bales per acre , that works out at 8 euro per bale , mowed , bailed and wrapped with the farmer buying plastic as i said
