I've never heard of that brand. Considering that even the more famous brands quality is guestionable, it probably won't hurt to try them out. If you do let us know how it works out.

Well, spring seems to be here in full swing. Haven't heard this much thunder and lighting in a long time. Have no idea how much we've gotten, seems like its a bunch.
Everyone stay safe, stay healthy, and stay dry.

I do to. And when it does dry up, it'll be hot enough to fry eggs on a rock. Did get a touch over 3 inches in the backyard in the last go around. Small lakes all over the place.

First day of April. March weather was a total roller coaster and this months extended forecast says more of the same. I hope everyone is doing alright and no major problems or damage from the storms. Stay safe all.

Renting pasture ??
Hi,
Our family has about 15 acres in Sabastian County. It's too much for dad to keep up with anymore, he mows it all at 85 years old.
I want to propose that he let someone put some livestock on the land or let someone cut it for hay.
Do any of you have an understanding of how that kind of deal is structured around here? I'm assuming the livestock owner would tend to the herd and fences, and pay for the pasture? And I'm guessing that a hay crew would cut about 3 times a year and keep the hay for their troubles?
I've thrown thousands of square bales onto the trailer, just never seen the business end of it and what is/isn't customary. Any insight is appreciated, thanks!

I'm like you, thrown a bunch but don't know the other end. Wish I could help more. If nothing else go on some of the neighboring state forums. They may be able to help you more.

You objective seems to be keeping it cut more than worrying about the income, which simplifies it greatly. In those situations you would typically take a percentage of the yield. Expect at best 6 round bales per acre, but realistically closer to 4. So you would figure the value of the 60 bales produced per cutting and agree to terms on what you take is. In my experience 35-50% would be "normal".
