Sometimes 5 Hay Balers isn't Enough (Rain)

- We are nearing the end of dry hay 2021! We had to pull out all the stops and light a fire under our feet to clean everything up before the rain. This is what it takes to make and maintain high quality horse feed!

Farmers always helps farmers when they need it. Great hay and great job.
Thank you! It ended up being a great day
No better feeling than to have your barn full of alfalfa hay the smell is incredible
We can smell it as soon as we walk out of the house!
How can it be any better ? Cut, rake, bail, rain. A hay growers utopia. Hope you got 1” of rain , what could be more ideal than that for a just harvested field. Your blessed. 👍😎
It is a great situation when you get the hay put away right before rain 🌧
Farming friends are the best. They always come through in a pinch .
They understand the importance of weather and timing!
Always awesome to see everybody on the same page about the kind of work they do. Cool to see everyone clicking. Great content keep up the great work, me and my kids love watching it. Carl is a superstar😎
Thank you for supporting us!! He really is. I think this is the only day this year he wasn’t there when we baled. He had a big family reunion
I grew up on an herb farm. You guys rock!! Beautiful video!!! Wish I could've been a part of it!!! Nothing beats farming!!! Miss it soooo much!!!+
Large squares stacked 4 high on a lowboy is a pretty cool sight actually. Especially that nice green hay. Thanks for sharing this experience. It's a change of pace from all the soybean dust I usually see
I have some bean dust videos to get up too! haha thank you for the support
Love the fields you have.
Thanks Loren! We are really fortunate to get to run this piece
That drone footage is unreal. Such huge fields. Very nice video
Great video, glad that you were able to beat the rain and get most of the hay away in a safe location. There is no better smell than standing in a freshly cut Alfalfa field.
You got that right! I want to make it a cologne
Beautiful hay yall do great work
Thank you Chris!
Good video and really nice looking hay.
Thank you sir!
Great job on the video we had the same trouble this season. We had rain after rain coming thru here. We have 800 acres of our own plus we do over 1000 acres of custom hay and we had to send it every day this season. We are down to the last two fields now and we are wrapping them so it's not a big deal cut,rake,bale,wrap and stack so glad it's almost done and we can get on to planting, fencing and feeding cattle.
Thanks! This year was really a grind for a lot of areas.
Y'alls haying operation is incredible, to say the least, and that comes from an old man, that was not only making our own hay, but was also doing custom work as a young teenager in the mid 70's with our John Deere 1530 tractor, JD 350 sickle bar mower, JD 650 rake, and a JD 336 baler, and thought I was really getting it done, with the only JD diesel tractor in our community, that also had power steering, and independent PTO, which our previous JD 1020 tractor didn't have.
My oh my how things have changed in 45 years.

Thank you!! You ran more green doing hay than we do. You were getting it done!
@@FarmingInsider
Lol...... I reckon for that time and place, I was doing okay. Yes, Deere decided years ago that large square bale operations were going to loose out to Round Balers, which it did to a great extent, so they chose not to get into the niche market of inline balers, and stayed with the traditional offset Balers, and more recently the newer Large Square Balers, which are still unhandy for horse hay that's fed in the barn. It's very heartwarming to see that small square baled hay is still being made, although on a significantly greater scale. Where exactly are you located, that there's such great demand for horse hay?
@@RealJohnWayne We are about 35 minutes south of Cleveland, which is a very large horse market. We are also within economical trucking distance to the Carolinas
@@FarmingInsider
Really, that surprises me that close to Cleveland there's a large number of horses.
I would've thought that between Virgina and the Carolinas, they would produce enough horse hay regionally.
My dad always said you should at a minimum, learn one new thing each day of your life, and I just learned two by your being polite enough to talk to me this evening! Thank you!
"Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🇺🇸
Very nice you guys have it figured out .
Thank you! We have spent a lot of time trying to figure it out
Glad you got it all in.
Barely!
Those are some lucky horses and cows ,nice hay , hard to make hay like that were I live
When we are making late September/early October dry hay, it is a really great opportunity for us. It doesn’t always happen
Love your channel and the way you communicate with us. Can't believe you don't have 250K subs!
Wow, thank you! Maybe one day. I really appreciate that
That’s some real teamwork!
Making the dream work!
I really understand you this is how his life is going so thanks for the video please try to make more videos I really enjoyed to watch me or one of my best farming videos I really enjoy it thanks again God bless you enjoy life just make easy money
More videos to come!
@@FarmingInsider okay cannot wait
Love that intro!
Thanks boss!
:o
This was exciting! Those rotary rakes look like they do a dang good job. It's amazing what happens when you know how to run tools the right way
They have made all the difference in the quality of our alfalfa
Looks like you did the best job possible under the circumstances! You just can't fully predict the weather!
Bellissimo video 🙋♂️ 🌈
Thank you!
I to bale up to 450 acres of alfalfa small squares for the horse market, and what was not top notch hay was fed to my sheep. We cut 14 ft with a mower conditioner, used a newholland hay inverter the next day combining 2 swaths, then bales it the following day. We used a 105 bale newholland bale wagon picker. Only had 1 year were I lost 2000 bales due to rain, just about dry then rain, finally we just baled it stacked it in 2 1000 bale stacks and torched it in winter, it was black. But that was off 60 acres and we still had 240 to go.
That’s great!
Your family would love to see some of the Angus cattle that come out of the Northern Territory of Australia I’m 6 foot 1 and there shoulders come up to my head but most of the cattle don’t see humans that often when I worked on the cattle station there was some fully grown cattle that only just saw humans for the first time
Those are some large animals!
That's what America's about !!!
Amen!!
When i drove across country I always figured I was legal until I was Mr policeman. Informed me other wise!
Lol that's exactly right
This is a crazy thing we are living in. Someone in wayne county agreed to 15k to sell per acre. Then came back and said 21k. Crazy
Ground is going insane
my friend, we in Poland if you don't know where it is next to Germany. such machines that you have already had 20 years ago, it will show that you are 100 years behind blacks, best regards
best regards Michal!
@@FarmingInsider
Well, I think, my American colleague
Awesome when it all comes together! Which would you prefer to have to handle big squares Loader with forks or telehandler Are they similar in price
Strictly in the field, big loaders are pretty nice if they are articulating because you can stack really nice, tight loads (not that the telehandler can't, but it's pretty easy). I'm a fan of telehandlers because of the opportunities they open up stacking in barns. A similar priced telehandler and loader will yield you a much more powerful loader, but you're giving up the whole idea of a telehandler.
That’s a lot of top of the line hay.
Thanks David! It’s some really nice product
I got the same auction time shirt wonder how maybe because of a ag show probably.😁
When your hay gets called washing the hay
We don’t like washed hay hah
Hey man. Would you mind telling me the brand of those red wagons I see in the first few minutes of the video? I bale hay in Mississippi and I am interested in those. Nice setup and beautiful barns. Really enjoy your videos.
Hey, thank you. Would you be talking about the EZ trail wagons perhaps?
That's some great lookin' hay! How many bales do you put up? Good video!
Thanks Herb! When we get done rebaling this winter, it will probably be somewhere around 160-180k
Really enjoy your videos, keep them coming! Did the office ever get completed?
Thank you Lance! Not yet, as you might imagine we aren't immune to supply chain issues. Still waiting on some various materials like doors and interior things
@@FarmingInsider Understandable.
I know those people, they live near Wellington, Oh.
Yep!
How do you guys handle your headlands? Cut and bale them before you start the field?
For this particular field they were mowed a day earlier and baled a day earlier. That is not always the situation tho
When he startet raking, he is gonna turn around at the end, wil he make a double windrow in the middle?
In really dry hay, yes. In material that still needs to dry we have started spacing over so you just make another windrow about a foot away from the 1st one made and in between them doesn’t ever get raked and they get baled last
@@FarmingInsider good
I notice you use in-line balers, why? where I live,( and help to do a little haying during season, Central Wash). we can't used in-line balers, only the pull type side fed or big balers, that bale 4ft. x 4x8.
What state you guys located in?
Northern Ohio
Where is your farm located
Northern Ohio
In the year of our lord 2021 we can bale hay with a round baler. Way easier
Easier, but also less profitable
@@FarmingInsider I don't dispute that but when you have beautiful hay you can't afford to loose it on getting square bale risk of being lost on quality due to rain. You can build an unroller to rebale round hay bales into squares on demand
Where in northern Ohio are you located
Mostly around the Medina and Lorain county area
you guys need a bale baron
What is that?
@@FarmingInsider Look this up, Bale Baron 5250P
Once it is all on the trucks then what?
Then we go to bed lol
@@FarmingInsider I meant how do you store the hay?
Oh, just like briefly shown in the beginning of the video. In barns on pallets and tarps
Not road legal? Nothing is illegal unless you get caught.
well yes that’s a fair point. No one was caught in the making of this film haha
If he stopped filming and talking he could have finished already.
Nice!
