Northern Illinois | when you sell him the seed and bill him for chemicals (if you apply them) make sure you bill him for what they cost you and not retail price. Operation around here lost a lot of custom ground and got a bad reputation with landowners because they paid bulk price and billed landlords at one unit price.
As a landlord I am not sure I would want someone other then a retail spray outfit spraying chemicals. What happens if there is a less then desirable weed control? Who eats the respray? What happens if there is a late flush of weeds but may not affect yield but it is tough to convince landlord that it does not affect yield? What happens if those weeds do affect yield? A lot of potential problem areas imo. | |
