Custom Chopping

The last several years I have begun to dread the harvest season. The corn chopping nightmare. Yesterday I got to thinking and did a little math. I discovered that if I make 2 more lbs of milk per cow per day for the year it would more than pay to have my corn silage custom harvested. I would supply the trucks and pay for the chopper. I am thinking we will be able to cut 130 acres in three days at the most. 16-20 hrs should easily cover it. I am no longer dreading the harvest season...
