    HI
    Would be grateful for advise.
    Neighbour has approached me to take a field, approx 6 acres, for two cuts of silage. He will be applying fertiliser.
    What would be a reasonable price per acre based on the above?
    Thanks in advance

    thanks for the attached.
    so would €180 per acre for two cuts of silage, unfertilised appear to be reasonable? He is an adjoining farm so A) it suits him and B) i dont want to charge an unreasonable price to a neighbour.

    Thanks

    Would you want to specify the fertilizer?
    Or will you have your own slurry to put out on the ground, so all twould need for the silage is N?

    As for the price, I couldn't say what it would be this year. Last few years around here it was 100 first cut + 70 second cut, so you're not too far off...

    Can anyone tell me what a cut of silage takes of in terms of P & K?

    Edit : And does taking off silage affect the Ph of the soil?
