That nice looking Alfalfa regardless of blooming. Any hay is good when you don't have to pay to feed your own horses or cattle. Take care Jason nice Video.
The great thing about the barn swallows is they eat tons of mosquitos and flies. When they leave just wash their nests off with your pressure washer. My sister has a pool in the backyard and a pond 75 yards from the house. Since she quit running the swallow off they don t have very many mosquitos. Her next door neighbor has a pond the same distance from her house and she spends a shit load of time running the swallows off. She won t let them start a nest at all. Every time they cook out the mosquitos eat them alive. The houses are less than a mile apart.

Thank you I remember what fresh cut hay smell likes. To my it is a smell of life. Many of God creations will eat all winter. Very educational for those that don't understand the drying process. Ontario Canada.
Fresh cut alfalfa IS a very nice smell! I was thinking about how nice the field must smell when you were standing in the blooms! So I was wondering...if the swallows are a problem (most people like them for pest control) with habitating at your actual house, maybe you should make them a place to squat that's more appealing to them? I imagine they'd like the feast of flies that tend to frequent the large animals, but I'm not sure why they're choosing your house over something closer to the feed zone. Something like a tall pole with a small roof and eaves only out away from the house but not too far they can't make the connection to move. If you don't mess with it, they'll likely eventually choose it over navigating the anti-perch spikes. Maybe even give them a homemade 'tote pond' at the base of the pole to encourage their interest elsewhere. They're there for a reason. You got bugs. Bugs they like to eat. So, if they aren't going to leave, maybe harness the power of Nature by helping them out and away from your home LOL!
I'm curious, have you ever tried bailing going into the dew in the evening instead of coming out of it in the morning? We always fought it getting to dry so we raked in the morning with the dew and bailed in the evening when the dew started to fall.
Right on time 👍🏻
I’m watching your channel and learning all the different ways you let the ranch make money.

Morning Sir
Haying time is always a good time of year - lots of variables to evaluate so the best crop is gathered. I always loved haying time.
You got any more recent pictures of max?
How many hay cuttings do you get a year? Here in north eastern Nevada we only get 3

I never knew about haying that much. I watch Bales Hay utube he uses steamers. I wish I could have smelled that hay.

Wonder if I got honey from bees that made honey from some alfalfa blooms I’d quit sneezing.
Get you some chicken hawks
I’m interested in breeding and foaling.
