Looks like everyone in KY is in hay!!! We just finished our crop.

[@cripplecreekfarmsky]

We've been pretty fortunate this year! Some have already gotten a second cutting. Fingers crossed for no late summer drought!

[@georgep2428]

tedders are a great aid in making quality hay

[@cripplecreekfarmsky]

It's the most beneficial piece of equipment to have in the hay making process.

Some pretty country up there! Have to be mindful of those bales rolling down those hills I see ha ha

[@cripplecreekfarmsky]

Oh, we've had our fair share roll off down the hills over the years lol

@@cripplecreekfarmsky I bale on some hilly ground but nothing like that. But did have a run away bale this past weekend. Lucky for me a ditch stopped it lol

What is tedding? I had no idea Kentucky is so pretty.

[@cripplecreekfarmsky]

Tedding is the process of ''fluffing'' the grass that has been cut. What it does more precisely is spread the grass out all over the ground to allow more sunlight and air to penetrate, which helps the grass to dry out quicker and allows you to bale it sooner. It's a wonderful tool to have! Kentucky is absolutely gorgeous. You could never get me to leave!
