Actually, He is getting ready to put the corn shuck/stalk into big round bales. The bale is then used for feed and/or bedding for live stock. We baled over 300 bales of corn stocks last year because of the drought. Our normal hay production was half the amount of hay needed for the winter. The use of corn stock bales helped us extend our normal hay. By the start of spring all our pasture hay, our alfalfa hay and our hay reserves had be exhausted. The corn stock bales carried us through.
