    No luck on the 2009...you probably seen this but maybe you can adjust a bit and use the 2007-2008. I also attached the Iowa 2009 and Kansas 2008 for a comparison. Hope it is helpful.

    Hi. Where you located at? Balling rates are depending on who does it most of the time. What size? Net wrap or not? How much work are you going to do? I paid a guy to make some round bales for me the last 2-3 yrs. Cheapest and hardest working guy I ever met. Charged $18.00 for a 4x5 twine wrap bale last year . He's very busy and hard to get to come when you want it done. But well worth it. I cut some of it that he baled last year and he only charged me $8.00 for raking and baling those. I heard of several cutters charging $30.00 for bigger (5x5) net wrap bales. Some of the cost depends on the price of fuel at the time.

    Talked to the guy that did the baling for me last year this weekend. He bought a new baler this year and said his 4x5 bales are a couple hundred pounds heavier than they where last year. Anyway he's charging $17.00 to make them this year. That's cutting, raking and baling.

    Slightly different here.

    $12-$15 a acre for mowing
    $5 per acre for tedding
    $5 per acre for raking
    $8 a bale for net wrap
    customer charged for acid by the amount used.

    This is one of the cheapest guys around. I like his prices and he's a hard worker. Does you right when he works for you. Just hard to get on his schedule. He also will come and charge for seperate tasks. But I usually just have him do it all. Not alot of acid used around here that I know of. I,m sure there is in NW Okla. Alot more alfalfa grown up there.

    We are located in Texas and we get $22 to cut, rake and bale but ours are about 5 1/2 ft tall and if we do everything we have a 2 bale per acre minimum.
    Our prices are:
    Mowing $14/acre for mowing with our mower conditioner and laying it flat
    Raking $6/acre
    Tedding $5/acre
    Baling $8-10 bale depending on how far we go and the amount of hay that it makes.
