back in 2001-2004 it was $0.65 a bale. Made alot of money those summers. In '04 we all pitched in and bought a hay lift, the one that hooks on the side of the trailer. We thought we were sh!**ng in high cotton then!

I did pretty good we got paid by what my uncle had in his wallet. We had alphafa and that stuff was heavy.. On the plus side though no Texas heat...

Oh man does that bring back memories!! i remember as a kid, mom driving the truck with dad and me throwing them in the trailer and stacking them...I don't miss the heat, the fields, or the freakin barn! Wait a minute, looking back, those were some great times...

why round bale it to just leave it in the field to rot ?
Fortunately , I was the one who cut and raked. I was rarely on the hauling crew. man those were long days... My dad started round baling the day I went to college.

.03 cents a bale on the old Circle K ranch South of Arlington in the...well forget how long ago it was. Our football coach had it all lined up for the linemen to work each spring, summer and fall bucking bales that is if we wanted to play the next season.
At least my boat and truck are paid for, woo hoo!

Well there is a blast from the past the old Circle K Ranch !!!!Harold Reynolds ring a bell? Hauled hay and chopped cotton for him !
I would agree with you , but then we would both be WRONG !!!!!

It was going to make that many I would have round baled it.I bet this brings back nightmares for those of us who grew up in the country and had to haul those for a little "running around" money.
Running around money? That is how I bought my first car. 3 Cents a bale and then 5 Cents.

I made lots of money through junior high ang high school hauling hay. Its also the best work out to get you in shape for football. I had lots of my friends (city kids) quit me after the first load! The Good Ole Days!
LET IT SOAK!
