Saturday, July 13, we cut the sudangrass in our lower field in the southwest corner of our property. Because of the length and moisture of the grass, it was too wet to rake or even bale the next day. We ended up baling and wrapping it on Monday, July 15. We hope you enjoy this video! Thanks for watching!

You sound young and smart, like you are dealing in the real world. It gives me hope for the future when I see hard-working, smart young people like you actually doing something productive.

Well filmed/videoed . As a person born and raised on a farm many years ago now it was interesting to see how things have changed, but stayed the same !

The round bale wrapper is a very interesting machine 🤔 🙂

Disc mower works on my sudan good it's a NH 617

@bryanginder5903 3 года назад

Only problem with a discbine cutting in soft ground if you have rocks you have problems, seam to always find one that the packer didn't push down when cutting sorghum!

@spencercoolidge5434 4 года назад

How many bales did you get to the acre and what size of bale

@freddyfreddy42 3 года назад

Just curious why do you wrap them up?

@bobbykeene3296 3 года назад

How much would one pay for one of these bales?

@ernestjoiner3040 2 года назад

That was a good stand. I'm surprised lil' green men didn't land off in there and do crop circles 👽 😜

@tim7409 Месяц назад

Enjoy watching, what size did you make them ?

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm 3 дня назад

Those were probably 4 x 4 1/2.

Sorghum Sudangrass and Sudangrass how deference? Which one is high protein

@markgillespie2347 3 года назад

I just watched a other video where the sudangrass was at lease 6 feet tall or more

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm 3 года назад

Yes, if you let it go it will get that tall quickly, but then the feed value begins to decline. Chopping a crop that tall for silage is workable, but that is way too tall for bales. Also, letting it get that tall before cutting will usually hamper its ability to regrow quickly.

@aggabus 2 года назад

No dry no turn

@dougpeterson5257 3 года назад

Does it regrow after this cutting?

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm 3 года назад

Yes. Typically we get four cuttings before frost. We plant as soon as soil temps hit 60 degrees and the crop will last to the first frost.

@utubedude2842 3 года назад

Keith Fink what is your yield/acre over those 4 cuttings?

@locybapsi174 Год назад

@@KeithFinkFamilyFarm Is it perennial or annual?

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm Год назад

@@locybapsi174 it is annual. We try to plant it first or second week in June. First cut is usually 4 weeks later and then we continue to harvest until frost kills it. Usually 2nd or 3rd week in October.

@locybapsi174 Год назад

@@KeithFinkFamilyFarm Thank you for your quick reply! Wow, that's impressive. Four cuttings from June to October. I suppose it does remove a lot of nutrients from the soil.

@robbycrawford906 3 года назад

Maybe a tedder

@aggabus 2 года назад

Perennial ?

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm 2 года назад

Sudangrass is an annual.

@scottdunlap2626 2 года назад

Why are they wrapped in plastic?

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm 2 года назад

They are wrapped to seal out oxygen in order to facilitate them fermentation process. They were baled at 65% moisture. The fermentation process preserves the crop. Basically a baled silage.
