That high moisture will not work in the export market after awhile the bales will start to burn even with acid get it around 10 or less it will work because export presses like it dry. Also HRBlock a hand full of leaves and stems and twist them count how many twists it takes to break for stem moisture. I work for and export company and we check the moisture before we buy that high moisture I walk away because it will mold in the sea can after it’s pressed just helping. Also it will save you time on kick outs from burning
Hey thanks for your comment:) much appreciated
This hay turned out awesome
After a year of storage we still feeding it.
And it’s some of the nicest hay I’ve seen
Lots of leaf retention
I’m surprised myself by how nice it all turned out

@@PetesFarmingVideos that’s good to hear it made it I been kicking out allot of hay that is burned or tobacco costing the press and farmers money in lost hay I just didn’t want you to lose hay ether because that high of moisture will do that seeing this is only you third year of hay I didn’t want to see your next video the barn burns down that acid isn’t a life saver don’t depend on it because I seen allot of stacks burn at 20 and higher I don’t want to see that happen to you

You bet! I understand the the sticky doobie part well. Makes sense@@PetesFarmingVideos
😂🙌
Those bales look fun to stack and load.
That’s the best part !!!
The strings cut into your fingers after the first 50 and they can b pretty heavy too but iremember when round bales were invented I sank onto my knees and thanked the LORD
We used to do 4000 small square bales every year with silage too they were hard work
@@irishlad8797 well we didn’t have to handle any of these big bales by hand :) all done with Skidsteer
@@PetesFarmingVideos If someone put me in the skidsteer to load bales I would be excited to do it!
Pete if u got down to roll the alfalfa between your fingers one more time I would rip all my hair out
Please just row it up and bale dude
Nice video all d same Pete
Keep it up bud
Hahahahah ya I think your right
Next time ill edit to show it once 🤪
Sorry Pete
I was just making the comparison between now and 45yrs ago when I was 12.
The new machinery is huge improvement in agriculture for sure
Keep up the great videos
Take care from Ireland 🇮🇪
Oh for sure
I’ve been there before as well growing up moving 3000 small bales
