Today on Felsbrunn I took a baling contract for field 30 using my own equipment. It was for silage bales. The only equipment I didn't have was the bale wrapper but I had plenty of spare cash and thought why not? So I bought it.
The job was only paying £5400 which is not a lot for the time involved but I didn't mind as I'm passing time until my Oats and Canola are ready for harvest later today. I've found that if careful, you can skim the edge of the field and cut some of the grass from outside the field too. Pulling a Windrower behind my mower(s) brought that outside grass back into the field increasing the yield. I managed to get 29 bales from the field. Netting a whopping £9200 on top of the payment for the contract. A perfect day at the office.
