    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Not sure why I keep pushing my luck. Made a last minute call Thursday to mow 8.5 acres knowing the weather was unsettled Friday and mostly cloudy Sunday with the front coming through. High winds Thursday after receiving .75 rain and stayed cloudy. Mowed and tedded done by 2pm. Tedded again...

    Passed again

    I just bought a ‘99 Dodge w/V10. It’s fun. Gets about a mile to the gallon better than my ‘99 454 in all driving conditions. Not a fair comparison though. Dodge is short bed ext. cab. Chevy is crew cab dually with 110 gal fuel tank and tool box.

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    The company that is getting this pump wanted picture proof that it was cracked. Did not believe me. It will be getting an autopsy and I will have an answer. Horrible grinding, Locked up and stalled the tractor before I could grab the clutch.

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Been a long couple days with straw and hay. Straw yielded good at 1400 bales but very unhappy with the bales. The crop was inconsistent resulting in loose bales. 50% of the bales I would say were perfect and 90% of the bales had good weight but by the time they were handled by 3-4 people they...

    Straw gets baled tomorrow. Might be some of our prettiest we have ever made though still some green. It did get quarter inch of rain yesterday. Tedded 3 times. Probably should have done at least a fourth. Not as heavy looking now. 18 acres of hay down for Tuesday.

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    lol. I looked today and the ECM has us for 5 inches Sat-Tues. GFS has the perfect amount of about quarter inch. Even if we don't get rain the sun will bleach it out. Dew helps. Just takes longer. It is a tough crop for this area. Trying to predict best time to mow so not to mature with trying to...

    Questions: wrapping DRY hay (round bales, single cutting, grass w some legumes)

    Question then. I'm assuming you are leaving them outside before wrapping them so they are still exposed the weather? After the sweat out period what is your protocol for wrapping after they get rained on. At least my area the odds of weeks of dry weather does not exist.

    Questions: wrapping DRY hay (round bales, single cutting, grass w some legumes)

    That didn't make a difference on the hay I bought. Wrapped with both black and white.

    Questions: wrapping DRY hay (round bales, single cutting, grass w some legumes)

    I’ve never seen good luck with wrapping dry. If feeding it yourself and dont mind slime/mold/spoilage try several methods and let us know what works. I personally would wrap them as you would baleage. For 4x4 I use 21 revolutions with 30” wrap wrapping individually. This year I had to buy hay...
