No not at all Rob, This will tell the customer you are willing to work with them and also allows you to get a feel for their budgit so you don't go there with some crazy high bid. And it will tell you if you want to persue bidding maybe if you know where the budgit is then you wont be waisting time bidding something that you now know wouldnt be able to beat and you can just tell them right then they have the best deal and you don't think you can match or beat the price they have. They will apperciate it more. You would know right off if you could beat it or not, by your per acre rate. this will cut down on alot of wasited time on both parties.
