In this video I encounter a problem I haven’t had since I’ve been doing hay own my own. Follow along to see what the problem is and how maybe we can fix it.
We baled some hay once and the people put it in a fully closed shed that day They were told to leave the doors open for 8 to 10 days but closed them that night Had a call about 5 days later to say it had gone mouldy It was white with mould and was warm to the touch Took it home and it turned out to be some of the best hay we've ever had
A little secret to making dry hay is pre rake the day before bale day then the morning of bale day ted the rows out and rake again. I always do that in case it isn’t as sunny on bale day.
I’m with you on trying to save the hay. We had poles. High over the barn floor put the hay there and loosely mowed it and the air passed through It and always dried. Good luck. Like your vids
Man I love your videos. Me and my brother do the exact same thing as you. Even have the same 601. Our fields are no where near as good of shape as yours but we are working on it. Just bought a sprayer last month. We are just north of you in Kentucky, we’re in Barbourville. Keep up the great videos man. We had hay down today and that afternoon shower ended that for us. Got a lot of it up though.
Hey,GREAT JOB! You kept going and that’s what counts! Love your videos! I’ve been there myself on the hay situation. Make a decision and go with it! God Bless!
I had the same issue today in Grainger County. I cut on Thursday with a haybine, and they weren’t giving any rain, and yesterday it changed. Tedded the hay out yesterday, still too wet today. Couldn’t risk it since we round bale.
Hi there. What do you do with all the hay you, make, do you have cattle to feed? If so then show some footage taking care of your, thanks and take care.
