First Cut, Second Cut, and Sink Holes (Oh My) (2023) 

Thanks!! It’s been a relief

😆

Hey there, so glad to hear it! Same here with that amazing stretch last week, it felt so good to make some solid progress. And yes, actually fun, who would have thought?? No further info on that hole - I've been too "gogogo" to ask people or connect further with the landowner on it. The old elementary school is just next door to that field, and very close to the hole, so I'm wondering if it's some sort of old drainage, or even underground erosion from drainage, or some such. No sign of anything artificial down there, or stonework, or anything. Landowner is the nicest person, so we'll figure something out. But wow, what a surprise, I've done that field for 12 years! Thanks for following along! Eager to see any of your operation if you ever feel like sharing.

I appreciate that! Starting to think more and more about trying it myself with these years we’re having. Which preservative do you use?

buffered propionic acid I have been using it as needed for 4 years with good results and no complaints. It does stink so the bales need to sit for a bit before i sell them, my application rate is 4 lbs per ton and it weighs 9lbs per gallon so you dont need allot. Im located in western ny so our weather is very close to yours I make and sell between 18000 and 23000 bales a year and in 2021 our weather was like yours this year I had to put acid on half of what i made that year. Some folks are scared of it but they shouldnt be I wore it when filling the tank when the hose came out i was soaked clean through my underware and nothing got iritated if ya know what i mean. the brand I use is keenan fresh cut plus it doesnt smell as strong as nh crop saver I run a kuhn accumulator and skidsteer grapple system love the channel keep up the good work@@windrowfarm

Thanks so much! That’s really helpful. And wow, that’s impressive! Hope the rest of your season goes well!
