    The other consideration is that no matter which way you slice it, preservatives are chemicals. and animals will be eating it. So in marketing, dried hay is naturally (pun intended) more desirable.

    It ''won't get dry'' pretty much sums up June-August this year in central Minn...Now Sept-Oct dry as a popcorn fart, but hay season is over lol.

      It is SO HARD to make hay in Indiana and Ohio because mother nature very seldom gives you 3 or 4 days in a row.
      This year, not so.

  • @allenbraun8759
    @allenbraun8759 12 дней назад +1

    Have you used hay quality tests to justify part of the cost. Hay baled wetter normally has a higher RFV due to better leaf retention. We switched to pure baleage due to the increased feed values

    • @FarmingInsider
      @FarmingInsider  12 дней назад

      Yes absolutely! We have noticed a tremendous increase in RFV

    Thanks for the tutorial on the dryer. Are large square bales as easy to run through it?

    • @FarmingInsider

      Yes. They are actually easier bc they don’t loosen up enough to worry about how you handle them

    Very cool, nice video, heck of an operation! I'm curious about your new building...what ground snow load are they designed for? As a northern Alberta guy, I'm pretty nervous when I see the large span on the trusses, the wide span between support posts and the long, unbraced length of the posts.

    • @FarmingInsider
      @FarmingInsider  26 дней назад +1

      I would have to talk to the builders for exact data to give you but the engineers did give this the OK with a 3/12 pitch

    Nice looking hay although I'm surprised at how little volume is in that crop. I've never baled alfafa - only meadow hay and am used to a bale every 20' with rows 10' apart

  • @love2sled
    @love2sled 27 дней назад +2

    I appreciated you going through the numbers of running the dryer. How does it work out on the other side in revenue? By spending say $.54/bale, can you charge more for better hay?

    • @FarmingInsider
      @FarmingInsider  27 дней назад +4

      You can definitely charge a premium for better hay but the real idea is you can spend .54/bale and have hay that’s worth $10-12/bale or not even get it made or rained on or moldy and have hay that you can hardly sell.

    • @love2sled
      @love2sled 27 дней назад +1

      @@FarmingInsider Thanks for the note. In that context, the $.54/bale looks like a pretty good investment.

    hey guys from UK. We always ran 8stack sledges behind the small balers. Buy i notice you guys in states don't run any sledges. Why please? Wish we had dryers they are so useful!

    @spencerpetrich7236 25 дней назад

    What would be the fixed cost or cost of drying unit per bale ?
    No replacement parts cost or maintenance.
    Say you spread it over 20 years and do 20,000 bales per year ?
    Or might be easier question what’s an average cost of the drying unit ?

    If the bundles are getting spongy what are the individual bales like? When they get to the end users the people won't be able to move them without the strings falling off.

    • @FarmingInsider
      @FarmingInsider  19 дней назад

      Individual bales are fine. They don’t lose nearly the integrity the bundle does

    Is the air heated with electricity generated by the engine or is the engine only to power the blower and is the air heated with fuel?

      No they just push to the side if they ever line up. We have never broken one.
