I finally got my 1 1/2 acre paddock cut for hay by a lovely young guy who has set up a paddock maintenance business! He has been brilliant, turning up on time etc but it has totally made me realise the amount of work and stress that is involved! It was cut on Sun am, tedded on Monday, flipping rained on Wednesday but tedded again on Thursday pm, rowed and baled on Friday. I now have 94 bales of pretty good meadow hay but it has worked out at about £3 odd per bale. I will never moan about the price of hay again after being on hand to see what is actually involved! How farmers can sell small bales for less than £4, I don’t know!
