    I wouldnt bother renting land for silage , keeep your eyes open around now and you will find plenty of good quality bales for sale that will be landed in the yard cheaper than the money and hassle of renting


    I had a fella give me €200 an acre for a six acre silage field on conacre while the bales off that field from the previous year were sitting in my yard for sale for less than €20 per bale.
    He had no interest in them wanted the land and that was it.

    Do either of you travel to it daily or is it farmed under your umbrella so to speak?

    Both that far away. One has young stock on and a person herding so we visit once a week for grass measuring and planning. We'd also go for baling, dosing etc but av would be twice a week.

    The other has cows milking so maybe twice a week for milking or more if big job needed doing. We only milk there one weekend per month. Guy there full time milking with relief for 2 weekends. We spread fert etc ourselves
