    Any idea what I should be looking for 8 acres of standing silage. Reseeded 20 months ago. Has gotten nitrogen and 18 6 12 so decent crop. Just want a ballpark as going to approach neighbor and if he isn't interested will put it on donedeal

    Would you not just get it cut/baked yourself.
    I've 3 1/2 acres and told it will cost me €13 per bale.

    125 an acre this year. Demand is poor compared to last year unless its a mighty crop altogether?

    Looking for the easiest option but if I can't get enough will make hay and sell the bakes from the field.

    If I was only getting that, id make hay on it's 10 bales an acre at least at cost of 8 euro a bale cut and baled. Sell for 25 upwards.
    Would leave me 170 an acre. Would need to ted and rake it myself

    South East. 200 would be nice but can't see me getting that. Need to leave something in it for the buyer

    150-200 acre seems to be the going rate. The 150 was for land in the tipp region, fertilised. 200 cork region.
