QUES-HAY
I own some land with about 6-8 acres in hayfields. Currently, th hay quality is probbly poor. I' m cuious as to what the "typical"
arrangements are between a landowner and a farmer who cuts the hay on the landowner's fields using the farmer's equipment.
In my situation, I want some or all of the hay. So, I guess I want to know how the farmer and landowner typically "split" the yield?
Also, if the farmer is going to plow, seed and fertilize the fields in a later year, what is the typical arrangement then if they are
going to divide the yield up?
Finally, what can one expect to get in terms on #s of bales per acre on a first, second and third cut.
Oh, I'm in northern NY if that matters.
Thanks-
