I take the existing 2 twine arms off and add 4 twine arms to create a faster tie time to keep up with net wrap or in general to decrease the amount of time you spend in the field. Please visit my profile to see pictures or contact me if you are interested and have any questions.

Ever get to the point of saying the heck with it.:confused:Get the sprayer out and spray it with Roundup.Plant corn and beans and have the summers off.Don't have to deal with the weather,hay market,a few crappy customers and a bad account.

I backed off 100 acres this yr and if things don't change another 50-100 next yr.$10 beans and $4 corn look a lot easier to me.

On the other hand I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the hay.sooooo???? ]]> Chit Chat/Intros swmnhay http://www.haytalk.com/forums/f13/throw-towel-2817/ http://www.haytalk.com/forums/f13/music-video-us-farming-2758/ Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:47:00 GMT Found this on youtube.

I also applied for a Rural Postal Carrier position, which I got. The days I would work vary. I'm guaranteed 2-3 days a week. I have to provide my own vehicle, but get .50 a mile and $18.50 an hour. The hourly pay for the other job offer is better, by a few bucks per hour. I'll have to buy a delivery vehicle.

I have 20 cows to feed and put up 2 cuttings of hay on about 100 acres in a years time. I'm 30 years old. My wife is pregnant and the baby is due in January. It's our first kid, so I'm a little freaked out.


I could really use the GOOD money of my old job. Even though it's still 10,000 less per year than i was making, it's still good money. HOWEVER.

-I hated that job with a firey passion for many reasons (mostly things about the job that were against my morals)

-I hated driving an hour to get to work and an hour to get home.


Should I take the old job back for the money, regardless of how much I hated the job or how I went against my own morals to do it?

I'd like to think I could get into something around the house besides farming for some extra cash, and do the postal thing and come out in pretty good shape. I'm full of good ideas to make a little extra cash, but don't enjoy taking risks, so I'm usually pretty reluctant to jump into new ventures without careful consideration.


Any advice or words of wisdom?

Monday is supposed to be my first day at either place, so I have to make a decision between now and then.

Thanks for any help. ]]> Chit Chat/Intros nosliw http://www.haytalk.com/forums/f13/need-help-making-job-decision-2752/ http://www.haytalk.com/forums/f13/new-pa-2715/ Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:52:36 GMT Hi everyone, New here!

New here! I live in central PA with my hubby and 4 kids and out small herd of horses. I have so many questions about hay and pasture! We are sort of taking over my grandparents farm but are fighting the uphill battle of the new technology vs. the way it used to be. And I'm not as knowledgeable on hay and pasture as I once thought! I thought it grew itself, haha! NOT! :) Anyway I will post my questions in the appropriate places! Anyone that can help please do, LOL! We need all we can get at this point.
