The full range

Every contracting job, sorted.

From a single mowing job to a full silage season, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of jobs US farm contractors actually run.

🌾Per-bale vs per-hour pricing

Most baleage and silage contractors price per bale rather than by the hour, with mowing and raking often charged separately per hectare or per acre. Note however you quoted the job and it's itemised that way.

🚜Multi-step jobs

Mowing, raking, baling, and wrapping are often steps of the same job done on different days. Describe each step and they're itemised as separate lines rather than one lump sum.

📦Stacking & transport

Bale stacking and transport to the stack site are commonly billed as an add-on per bale — note it separately from the baling charge so the client sees exactly what it covers.

Farm Contractor FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it price by the bale instead of by the hour?+
Yes. Most US baleage and silage contractors price per bale rather than hourly — note the bale count and rate and it's itemised correctly, alongside any separate mowing or raking charge.
Does it handle multiple services in one job, like mowing plus baling?+
Yes. Mowing, raking, baling, and wrapping are often billed as separate steps of the same job — describe each and they're itemised as their own lines rather than one lump sum.
Can it handle cultivation and harvesting jobs separately from silage work?+
Yes. Cultivation, drilling, spraying, and harvesting are all read as distinct job types — describe the work done and it's captured correctly.
Does it handle machine hire vs contract rate pricing?+
Yes. Whether you charge a flat contract rate, an hourly machine rate, or a per-hectare rate, note however you quoted the job and it's captured and itemised that way.
Can it handle stacking or transport as separate charges?+
Yes. Bale stacking and transport to the stack site are commonly billed as an add-on per bale — note it separately from the baling charge itself.
What does a typical baleage job cost?+
Pricing varies by region and contractor, but round bale baleage commonly runs in the $12-18 per bale range, with small square bales priced lower — your invoice reflects whatever you actually charged.
Can I invoice for a re-do after weather affected the cut?+
Yes. Note it as a weather-affected re-do and it'll show $0 or a reduced rate as appropriate, keeping your records accurate.
Are the invoices sales-tax ready?+
Yes — every invoice itemises labour and materials and includes a Sales Tax line you fill in before exporting. Sales tax rules vary by state, so TradieNotes doesn\'t auto-calculate a rate for you.
Do I need an account?+
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $2.
