Hi, Nathan -

We go halves with the neighbor who supplies all of the equipment and most of
the labor.  He gets 300 bales and we get 300.  Our's we sell out of the
field at $3 a bale or we store it in the barn and sell it in the winter when
nobody has any hay for $5 a bale.  We use a few bales in the garden for
mulch and some in the chicken house.  Someday we will have cattle.  It seems
like a lot of work but Tom says for the farm to qualify as a farm tax-wise
we have to continue to bale hay!
