Hi fro oz Ryan. Tips from an old contractor (custom haymaker). If your going to wrap it don’t let it get to dry. Start baking at around 60% moisture. It only goes down from there. It should only take about 24 hours from cutting. That will give you the best quality fodder you can get and you won’t need as much. I’ve had over 30 years experience making both hay and silage. Have done trials for people where every second windrow into silage rest hay then tested both. Results were silage feed ration quality hay good cardboard.
My fields are overgrown with weeds and it rains nigh every day....waiting, waiting... Luv the slo mo pix... and that straight above drone shot...top notch video work
🚜🚜 Hey Ryan, another great video hay sure is looking good, miss working in the hay, probably couldn't do it anymore, used to be in pretty good shape when I worked on the farms, never owned a farm but had lots of friends of the family who did always worked for them when I was younger, bless you and all your family from the great state of Tennessee, can't wait for the next video, keep up the great work, take care. 🚜🚜🦝
The weather has been causing issues all over the place. In OK, it was too dry while the winter wheat crop was growing. Now it's too wet for harvest (and too wet to plant the cotton crop).
Great video Ryan!When i saw you looking at the neighbor with his hay cut it reminded me of when i was working for my friend farmer each time he statrted cutting hay the neighbors did the same also!The only problem is that we were making silage and wrapping while the neighbors were doing dry hay.The night we were wrapping hay it started raining about an hour after we finished and it rained for 2 days straight! Poor neighbors!lol
Amazing work on the editing and camerawork... I always love your videos and personality, that combined with the way you visualize the farm is quite crazy, keep up the great work.
I think that your mowing the pastor you cows should be blessed. Type o Pasture, mowing it is good even if it's low yield. Yummy munchy fresh grass for the cows is good. I think the alfalfa is a good choice. To long and rain and you lose the nutrients. Nice mower. Love the 4640.
Howdy ya'll, Hey that one drone shot you were disk bining looked just like my province of Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 Cool !! Stay safe and Farm on my Friends, Peace
Need to get a tractor with a wider stance packing it down like that is not good. Also need to get some steel conditioners. When the hay stands up like that after cutting that means it’s not conditioned properly
Does anyone else have a problem with Ryan's videos making their TCL TV using the RUclips app lock-up and reboot? It happens with mine pretty consistently. I love Ryan's videos just not having to reboot in the middle of them.
Hey Ryan, great footage. Did you buy the Kuhn FC4061? I wish my Daddy had of farmed instead of us going into the cotton mill. Take care, Take it easy and ALWAYS TRUST JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure somebody mentioned it...and you kind of alluded to it...but 1st cut, IMO, you're much better off a week too early than a week too late. There are a couple reasons, 1st is feed value is much better as far as protein percentage and 2nd is 1st cutting tends to be a bit "stemmy" anyway, and if left too long it gets worse, almost to the point of being "woody". Yes you did mention volume, but in the end you have other stuff to feed with it, so to my eyes you're much better off too early than too late. The above message is probably worth the exact amount you've paid the author...so there's that too
Perfect representation of how farmers react to the neighbors getting in the field ahead of them.
Love how Ryan didn't say anything about the 2 random beef calfs out in the feild lol
Love the way a new mowed field looks! Nice work! Thanks Ryan.
Seeing you joke around in the beginning was fun to see! Do it more! Stupid humor is funny!
😂 I get the same feeling when I see neighbors mow their lawn but me . Awesome video Ryan 👍🏾 cut an dry.
Nice to see another SW Wisconsin Farmer cutting hay
Will not have to worry about rain this year we are in a drought

Around here (VA), we use crimping rollers instead of tines for alfalfa hay.
Thanks for the post!
Really nice drone shots.

Awesome video Ryan like how your surprised in the beginning of the video

The thumbnail of cutting hay with the LONG Shadows was a great choice.
Great video Ryan and awesome drone footage. Wow you guys have some beautiful country 👍

Amazing work on the editing and camerawork... I always love your videos and personality, that combined with the way you visualize the farm is quite crazy, keep up the great work.
Beautiful.
U have some really good drone skills Ryan and u have a good eye catching those two calves in the field

Love - Love the videos. GREAT aerial views
Check the stems if they’re hollow it’s ready if the stems a full it’s still growing
Great video Ryan!!!!
Hey Ryan I can't believe it's Hay season already.
Great job Ryan and Luna, have a good week👌👍🙏😎
awsome video ryan did great thumbs up and shared
Beautiful looking looking crop Ryan, wondering if you run into many fawns bedded down in your hay fields?
Is the 4640 only going to be used for mowing or do you guys have other odd jobs for it
The early-late-mid bud stage is the best stage to cut alfalfa
I think that your mowing the pastor you cows should be blessed. Type o
Pasture, mowing it is good even if it's low yield. Yummy munchy fresh grass for the cows is good. I think the alfalfa is a good choice. To long and rain and you lose the nutrients. Nice mower. Love the 4640.

Hey that one drone shot you were disk bining looked just like my province of Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 Cool !!
Stay safe and Farm on my Friends, Peace
Those calves really hide in that grass
we wait until there is about 20% flower to cut alfalfa
Always love your videos, Ryan Keep from common.
Good content. 👍
Awesome alfalfa field, do you drill your seed or broadcast when you plant
In Manitowoc we got rained out
I hate listening to the way he stumbles through telling us what he's gonna do but I do enjoy watching it
I can smell this video 😌
Thanks for posting!
Ryan are thinking about NEVADA (9:20 ) in your video.
How does that rented field that flooded earlier in the year look like now?
Bale and wrap that alfalfa and you will have some awesome feed, talking from a dairy aspect, I wouldn't plant alfalfa for beef personally
😊😊😊
Great looking hay
Great video.
Hi
There is white Smoke comming out of your 4640, that usaly mean nothing good...
Need to get a tractor with a wider stance packing it down like that is not good. Also need to get some steel conditioners. When the hay stands up like that after cutting that means it’s not conditioned properly
Lol good stuff
Ya i was done may 25th 🤣
Hey Ryan is this Kuhn mower a demo, bought, or are they a sponsor?
Still on demo.
@@DareDog. That's what I thought but he did do bit of same thing with the wrapper notexactly announcing that he bought it
what a shame they are doing to all the farm land in grant county. How many acres?
What ever happened to the flatbed trailer for Big Red?
Does anyone else have a problem with Ryan's videos making their TCL TV using the RUclips app lock-up and reboot? It happens with mine pretty consistently. I love Ryan's videos just not having to reboot in the middle of them.
In the settings menu for the video; send feedback to RUclips about the error.
By the way I like your videos very mich.
Hey Ryan, great footage. Did you buy the Kuhn FC4061? I wish my Daddy had of farmed instead of us going into the cotton mill. Take care, Take it easy and ALWAYS TRUST JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought seeing you neighbor in the field jumptarted everything a farmer does?
👍👏👏

The autocorrection sucks.
Love your videos, Ryan keep up the good work
Good luck with timely rains, ,$2.50 # steer prices and better grain prices. It will be grest to see the recovered pastures adding forrage.
Beautiful.
