[AT] Wheat Harvest 2006

[charlie hill]

Great pictures Mike.  Thanks.  I know you had a blast.  Looks like a first 
class operation.

Do you know how they charge?  Is it per acre or per bushel or %  of the 
crop?  And how much if you feel free to share that info?

The reason I ask is this.  Most farms around here that tend grain have their 
own combines and the only custom operators are farmers who work for others 
after their own crop is in.  However, they are about to build a big ethanol 
plant here and that coupled with the fact that most of the tobacco farmers 
took the buyout and quit means there are lots of small land tracts looking 
for new uses.  That might mean the need for custom operators.

Thanks

Charlie
