Round bales of silage for sale

The Novice

I am new to farming and I was wondering how much it costs to cut silage per round bale, and how much could I ask for those bales if I sold them later in the year.

YOu need to be asking these questions over in the Farming forum.. this is a very specific topic and you would get it answered over there..

Best answer I can give..

Mow, row bale & wrap. I pay €8.50 per bale, I've been told it costs €5-6 to do the work, but thats second hand talk from a lad who works for a contractor., I've no direct experience in the costings.

alps

8.50 bale and wrap
3.00 plastic
3.60 mow and rake at 10 bales/acre
3.00 draw bales if not near yard
10.00 value of grass in bale

28.10 total cost

Doing well to get 25 out of yard tbh..

Good loser

Look up Donedeal for price bales are making - and locations.
