Want to drive these badass trucks?? Jesse is hiring!! If you live near Junction City and have either a class A license or farm endorsement, give the office a call at 541-998-3795. Also, if you’re looking to purchase hay, it’s all for sale so either call the office or email them at www.boundshay.com
I'm wondering how the buyers find him? Obviously he has established clients and Google searches, but are the marketplaces, does he have to travel to find clients or do clients travel to him? Or is there some kind of conference?
Outstanding dialogue delivery , straight simple and completely understandable . Please continue this vein of content of what really goes on in your part of country . Big thumbs up .
Thanks so much for this content. I love "factory operations" and this one is new for me...nice to have something different from your normal variety of subjects now and then.
I grew up on a farm, and we did two tie bales ourselves, and had to buy three tie a few times when we ran low. These six tie bales, that weigh most of a ton are quite a change from the bales we used to toss on the truck and into the barn.
@@terrygardner3031 yup, that's about what ours weighed when they were ready to go to the barn. We did have a thunderstorm once, right after grandpa got done bailing, we cleared three small fields, about 180 bails in about 45 minutes, last bales were going in the barn when the rain started to fall. They were still rather green though, so little 115lb me was grabbing 130-160lb bales, one in each hand, to toss them on the truck and trailer to get them all off the field. Wish I was in that good of shape now... oh to have my teenage strength back.
Just keep mixing up the content , Casey, it is interesting. I live in a rural french farming community, previously resident of Eugene. I though I knew about hay or straw bailing, ran a round bailer for my local contract farmer a summer or two, but never seen an operation this organised and on such an industrial scale before.
I grew up bucking hay, this is alien. 60-90 lb. (28-40 kg) bales. By hand, 2 bales at a time. A heavy set of bales weighed more than me! I ran the tractors, drove the trucks, bucked, stacked offloaded and restacked countless tons. I'm a bit jealous of any kid that gets to play with these machines instead of humping across acres of fields.
Yup, one of my first serious jobs was bucking hay starting a 13. I remember being so hot and exhausted hand loading into the barn rafters that I cried. The old Italian bastard I was working for fired me for being a nancy🤣. I kept at it for five more summers and it definitely toughened me up. But now I’m 41 and own my own construction business so maybe I owe the old bastard a thanks 🤷🏻♂️
Love this video! It is important that people learn more about farming and how food gets to their tables. Especially during these times when farmers and ranchers are under attack and being driven out of business. Please do more of these type of videos!
Never would have guessed there was that much robotics involved in making hay bales. Thanks for the video Casey enjoy seeing the diversity on your channel sir.
Unbelieveable operation! I enjoyed seeing this very much. Do more of the same if you get a chance...corn fields, fruit trees, other vegetables, dairy...many people don't understand the process of how their food gets to the stores. I have a lot of respect for farmers...their work is hot, dirty, and dawn to dusk with many of them. They, along with the truckers, keep our country moving forward.
There's also a lot of work haying that's done at night. The hay needs to have a certain moisture content when it is raked, and when it is baled. I started working as a rake driver this summer, and I have had start times ranging from midnight, to nine in the morning. I really like the early morning work with the near triple digit day time temperatures we have been having.
As a city girl I love driving thru the country and have always been fascinated with the hay bales. I love all your videos but really appreciate these extra ones. Somehow they should be required viewing for city folk to appreciate what h goes into all the products we take for granted!
love the varied and educational content. I am a full fledged farmer in Illinois, I knew we exported all kinds of stuff, but I didn't realize how hay / straw were done.
We export sand to the middle east from Ohio.......pool filters need it and desert sand isn't coarse enough, there are other stone products as well because they have plenty of money to ship rocks
As someone who has spent her life in suburbia, I found this super interesting. Never thought about how hay is harvested and prepared for shipping. It's quite the operation.
What an incredible operation. I worked in a large sawmill back in the day and we were terrified of the danger of fire. This whole operation is definitely a no smoking area!!!
This was like your very own episode of how it's made. I love seeing things like this on such a large scale. Im curious as to how many acres that farm is because that's a sh!t ton of hay
These guys are on contract with many of the local grass seed farmers. Basically they are creating a marketable product from the byproduct of the grass seed industry.
Thank you for showing us the process. This helps us understand the manpower, the equipment used and what it takes to get this done. And people still question the cost.
Yet another unique and educational video. It is amazing that Jesse has all that machinery on the fields and in the barns and makes money on top of all of it. Doing all that helps our trade imbalance to a degree, at least we are exporting stuff made or grown in the US. Keep doing these interesting videos, Casey.
I enjoy the different videos. I truly looked forward to this one, to see the pressing process. I was happy to see the floor straw put to use, so that there isn't any "waste" both financially and product wise. Great video!
Casey, that was awesome. I love this kind of stuff. Most people buy products are the store, never asking/thinking where it came from or how it was processed. This was very coooool.
@CaseyLaDelle this is exactly why I watch RUclips channels like yours. It’s not just entertainment. It’s educational. I enjoy the multifaceted approach of your channel!! (I also get a laugh at your expense regarding the Motorhome…we bought our first travel trailer recently and it’s currently in for warranty for things like the wall bubbling. I swear they’re worse than a boat LOL)
Thanks for the video Casey! I hope parents and/or grandparents show this to their kids and/or grandkids. I believe all children should see this and wish they were shown stuff like this in school.
Very informative and entertaining video, very easy to watch and understand. I appreciate that you don’t feel the need to do the same types of videos and are willing to mix up the content. Keep up the good work.
I saw video from UK. Fertilezer prices there so high that it is cheaper to leave straw on the field, that covers quite some of fertilizer needs(metals, all kind of substances).
Just a suggestion Jack's at wild wild west trucking would make a fantastic collaboration with you both trucking farming and both of you enjoy giving back to children and the anyone who needs help plus supporting industry that just makes our world work and the families involved I believe it would be great for everyone involved 😊😊😊
Casey thank you for showing this entire process I hope you do more videos like this. I really enjoy learning about stuff like this. In my opinion the fact none of the hay goes to waste it gets used in some capacity is a great thing for sure. Keep up the great work
I love work, I could watch it all day. All jokes aside I enjoy learning how other people do things and that allows me to occasionally get better at what I do.
I work in Eastern Central Oregon for a fertilizer company and a lot of our customers sell their hay to overseas buyers. I've heard about the presses but have never seen what they actually do to get the hay ready for shipping, this was a really interesting and informative video. Thank you and keep up the good work
Thanks for the lesson, Casey. I grew up in a small town in Montana and my summer job was in the surrounding hayfields. Not quite as mechanized as this operation, though. We used the tried and true beaverslide to stack hay for feeding cattle in the winter months.
Awesome video Casey. THAT is a mind blowing operation. Never would have imagined the amount of equipment and technology for Straw. I hope Jesse is reaping the rewards. That is an incredible investment.
Where I work in Quincy Washington there is a facility we call the cuber and it pretty much does the same thing as Jesse's business except it also makes tiny highly compressed cubes about 1 inch in diameter and 1 to 1 1/2 inches in length. I drive a spud truck during potato harvest and the company I work for has a potato storage next to the cuber and it is a pretty interesting and aromatic place...
When I was a kid my Dad did this with a sythe and pitchfork, and loaded it on a horse and cart, and stored it in a rickety gal shed. Hay cutting was ritual where all neighbours helped and had different equipment, all horse powered of course. I still have pictures of the hayshed. Well done Casey, very informative!
Casey when you started this channel did you think that you would become a teacher? Great insight and thanks to Jessie for allowing you to see video this process. Take care and be safe out there.
This was very interesting! Thanks Casey. I had no idea about how it all works and have always wondered at the stacks I've seen in the fields while traveling. Amazing!!
Hey dude, Found your channel a couple days ago. Spent the last few days binge watching your channel. Thanks for taking me on all the wonderful journeys ive been on for the last few days!
Great interesting content! Makes one appreciate how much diesel is needed just on the back end of the feed supply line and how much Jesse must have to adjust his prices this year!
Casey this adds a whole new dimension to the STRAWMAN ... i grew up on a farm making straw 80lb bales that I could not lift . this automation is so civilized you can do more like this great stuff behind the scenes literally
Casey, thanks so much for this video! Nice to see how you guys in the USA do your hay operations. Thanks also for the exposure that you give to us farm folk with this video, its not something that a lot of city folk would ever know of, yet an integral part of everyone's daily breakfast cereal Take care!
Very cool! Hope you keep making videos like this?! Now that you’ve shown how the bales get off the farm, it’s time to show how they get to Korea!?!🙏👍🏻💪🏼
My 1st Summer job was helping the local farm during the Harvest, OK we only had small bale's we loaded by hand 1st time I had blisters from work on my hands, by the end my hands were a lot harder and less pron to blistering, but I had earned my 1st pay packet.
Thanks for the video. I've seen those orange truck, trailer and pup driving around in the Lebanon/Albany area, never knew what they were. I sometimes get stuck behind a hay press (now I know what they are) on the roads between Lebanon and Albany.
That was pretty interesting. As an old mechanic, I love just about anything mechanical. (No grapple yarders, nooooooo) I would love to climb all over one of those hay squeezers, interesting piece of machinery. Yes, yes. Love content like this.
My son worked driving and operating a hay squeezer as a summer job when he was a teenager but I could never understand what he was trying to describe to me as his job. Now I get and knowing that he operated machines like that at the same age I was barely qualified to pour and finish concrete just blows my mind. My kid is so awesome and so are your videos.
Great show. Grew up on a wheat / sheep farm in South Africa, with bailing. Now watch my neighbors bailing in the horse country of Marion County, FL. But Jesse's show is something else. Love to know what is that hay used for at the end?
Interesting stuff Casey, I never knew I’d be captivated by hay for twenty minutes. I figure if it’s interesting to you, your audience will enjoy it as well!
Hi Casey, brilliant video, really enjoyed it. Did you say, does the hay need to be under a particular moisture? Here in England grass cut and bailed is hay, wheat and barley (and oats) after the grain is removed is straw, I wasn't clear if this was hay or straw or both. What a scale of operation!
This whole process was interesting to see! I never actually knew any of this and that says a lot! I’ve seen the hey barns and similar hey walls in southern Washington. I just though that it was winter feed for the cattle
Great video, I'm going to appreciate more the fields I'll be driving through on my next road trip. ¿Casey during COVID was this operation able to continuously run as you are showing us today? Love this kind of content...thanks for sharing!! 👍
Amazing automation. Loved seeing the scenery. I grew up just a few miles south of Junction City. Springfield and Goshen. Casey, you need to travel over to Korea so we can see the other end of the process. Unloading the cargo containers and contents. 😀
I was born and raised in this area, even though I live in Brazil now. I learned to drive in a 1960 Rambler, pulling a stoneboat in my Grampa's little field, with him and my Dad throwing the bales on, for Grampa's one milk cow to have bedding for the winter. I had no idea there was an international market for lowly wheat straw!
Morning Casey!!! GREAT VIDEO (also the prior vid).. I've bought compressed hay before.. MUCH EASIER to store MORE HAY in the same space!! I'm curious if Jessie has knowledge of what the cost to consumer at final destination may be... (with all the handling on the OREGON end plus cargo shipment I imagine it must be quite expensive to have horses and cattle in the far east -- it's BAD ENOUGH HERE!! Appreciate your "HOW THINGS WORK" videos and welcome more on your channel (along with the rescues of course!) Safe travels, friend❤️ Stay FROSTY... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel... 🇺🇸🇺🇸WWG1WGA🇺🇸🇺🇸NCSWIC🇺🇸🇺🇸
as a small time farmer, watching big farms do stuff like this is awesome, our 100 acre lot would never produce that much. we do a small field of hay/straw for the cows, grain for feed and corn for feed. Having that size of equipment would help so much.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea such huge operations existed. Amazing that someone saw the need, designed the machines, and folks like Jesse do the work to make it all successful. Very interesting!
Another great video, Casey. You should do more like this in your off season. You didn’t quite finish this one, though. 😀 You have to get on the other end … you know, Middle East, Japan, Dubai, etc … and show the grass being used.
This is funny. Right After your video there was an ad for a yoga class. The headline said " Come sweat with us." My thought was go work on a farm if you want to sweat. 🤣👍👍👍
Love the mix-up of content, teaching us about a process we didn't even know existed! (Coming from a guy in NE Kansas, growing up around farmers bailing hay... But much different than this!)
It’s really cool to see stuff you grew up with shown like this. We forget that just because we know about it doesn’t mean everybody does. Watching them move the big bales is awesome,cuz when my dad worked the hay fields in Idaho, most of the loading and stacking was done by hand. ( 80-100 pound bales not these big ones.) Watching 4 or 5 people do what it took 30 or more to do is mind boggling.
I used to sail as Chief Electrician on APL ships. Part of my job was to inspect the entire ship, every day for electrical problems. I was amazed at the amount of hay we would carry from Seattle to the far east. Sometimes, 2 or 3 holds would be nothing but hay in 40 ft containers! Who knew you could make $ doing that!

Good job Casey and Jessie. It’s always nice to see The American Farmer at work. It’s who helped to make our country great.

I worked on small farms in the summer, throwing bales of hay onto the wagons...so the scale of this operation totally blows my mind.
Me too! I drove one of the little tractors pulling the bale wagon.
I grew up on a farm, and we did two tie bales ourselves, and had to buy three tie a few times when we ran low. These six tie bales, that weigh most of a ton are quite a change from the bales we used to toss on the truck and into the barn.

Possibly stock feed.
Interesting stuff Casey, I never knew I’d be captivated by hay for twenty minutes. I figure if it’s interesting to you, your audience will enjoy it as well!
Hi Casey, brilliant video, really enjoyed it. Did you say, does the hay need to be under a particular moisture? Here in England grass cut and bailed is hay, wheat and barley (and oats) after the grain is removed is straw, I wasn't clear if this was hay or straw or both. What a scale of operation!
Same here in Eastern Canada. Hay is a mown grass field. I've also heard the term "Silage" which I think is fermented grass.
straw is yellow, hay is dark. straw is bedding, hay is food raz
this is the straw left after grass seed harvest.
Cool process, we need more of these grocery store shoppers learning this and understanding how much work goes into farming.
That was very interesting, Casey. I never knew what all was involved in bailing hay or that it went overseas. Pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing!
As a truck driver this was cool to see all the stages.
This whole process was interesting to see! I never actually knew any of this and that says a lot! I’ve seen the hey barns and similar hey walls in southern Washington. I just though that it was winter feed for the cattle
What a production! The amount of machinery involved is mind-boggling! Thanks for sharing the process, I had no clue it was so involved.
Great video, I'm going to appreciate more the fields I'll be driving through on my next road trip.

Awesome video!! Love to learn stuff like this! Keep these great vids coming! Thanks for sharing, Casey!! Best regards from Norway!
Amazing automation. Loved seeing the scenery. I grew up just a few miles south of Junction City. Springfield and Goshen.
Casey, you need to travel over to Korea so we can see the other end of the process. Unloading the cargo containers and contents.
😀
Wouldn’t that be considered straw ?
Yes. However, its fescue straw that the Korean and Japanese wants.
I was born and raised in this area, even though I live in Brazil now. I learned to drive in a 1960 Rambler, pulling a stoneboat in my Grampa's little field, with him and my Dad throwing the bales on, for Grampa's one milk cow to have bedding for the winter. I had no idea there was an international market for lowly wheat straw!
Morning Casey!!!
GREAT VIDEO (also the prior vid)..
I've bought compressed hay before..
MUCH EASIER to store MORE HAY in the same space!!
I'm curious if Jessie has knowledge of what the cost to consumer at final destination may be...
(with all the handling on the OREGON end plus cargo shipment I imagine it must be quite expensive to have horses and cattle in the far east -- it's BAD ENOUGH HERE!!
Appreciate your "HOW THINGS WORK" videos and welcome more on your channel (along with the rescues of course!)
Safe travels, friend❤️
Stay FROSTY...
Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel...

Who knew I need a video about how Straw/Hay is processed & exported. Watched every second of it and enjoyed it. Thank you!
as a small time farmer, watching big farms do stuff like this is awesome, our 100 acre lot would never produce that much. we do a small field of hay/straw for the cows, grain for feed and corn for feed. Having that size of equipment would help so much.
Thanks for showing us how the hay press works! That's quite an operation Jesse has running.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea such huge operations existed. Amazing that someone saw the need, designed the machines, and folks like Jesse do the work to make it all successful. Very interesting!
Another great video, Casey. You should do more like this in your off season. You didn’t quite finish this one, though. 😀 You have to get on the other end … you know, Middle East, Japan, Dubai, etc … and show the grass being used.
I would love to follow one to any of those countries!
This is funny. Right After your video there was an ad for a yoga class. The headline said " Come sweat with us." My thought was go work on a farm if you want to sweat. 🤣👍👍👍
Love the mix-up of content, teaching us about a process we didn't even know existed! (Coming from a guy in NE Kansas, growing up around farmers bailing hay... But much different than this!)
I love videos like this. Very interesting, informative and educational. You should do more content as such.
Hay baling has come a long way since I used to walk behind a wagon and lift a bale by hand. Great video!
It’s really cool to see stuff you grew up with shown like this. We forget that just because we know about it doesn’t mean everybody does. Watching them move the big bales is awesome,cuz when my dad worked the hay fields in Idaho, most of the loading and stacking was done by hand. ( 80-100 pound bales not these big ones.) Watching 4 or 5 people do what it took 30 or more to do is mind boggling.
Very interesting to me as long as machinery is involved I’m ready to watch. Thanks Casey!
Changing things up now and then is cool. Keeps things interesting.
I used to sail as Chief Electrician on APL ships. Part of my job was to inspect the entire ship, every day for electrical problems.
I was amazed at the amount of hay we would carry from Seattle to the far east. Sometimes, 2 or 3 holds would be nothing but hay in 40 ft containers!
Who knew you could make $ doing that!
When we were kids, we had one of us on one side and one on the other and lifted them onto the hay wagon. We have come a long way *Baby*
Back in the day most of that work was by hand. Thank you technology!
Yes, we do like the learning of the various videos you produce, thanks and keep them coming. You do a great job narrating.
👋👋Is it just me, or is Casey one sweater away from being the new Mr. Rodgers 😊. Love the mix of content.
YES! That was really cool Casey! We love this kind of stuff too.
A lot of difference between when I was a kid bucking bales by hand and today. Great video.
Great vid maybe people will now realize how important farming is to any economy, hard working people
