Baling Main Cut, Quantity Isn't There But The Quality Is

[@cdemo1186]

Great to see the tri colour flying on the mchale baler Andrew 😉 I reckon you'll get to close a few more paddocks for more silage Good luck fixing up the maize 🖒

[@willyfindlay4398]

Great video 😊 The water trough/ swimming 🏊‍♀️ pool, if you lifted one end with your tractor then pushed an old bit of box profile sheeting under it and bent the edge up that would act as a sledge then you could drag it to a new place. Hope you get enough bales. All hail, the McHale. 😊😊😅

[@ronaldlucas5360]

You have helped those of us that aren't farmers better understand what's going on.

[@albertkikstra]

Those bales are probably heavier than previous years, that McHale makes them pretty firm. Maybe equivalent to other years if you compare total weight.

Great to see the irish flags flying in nz. 😊

[@johnjordan4647]

Nice drone shots Andrew showing off the farm. Just a request could you please do a fly around of the farm boundaries to give us idea of the overall layout. Thanks Mate. Nice touch with Ireland flags on the baler

[@brianjonker510]

Those drone shots show the severity of the slopes on your farm much better than any of the other shots I have seen.

G'day again Andrew. Please tell us about that little single row corn planter- where from, how much. I planted about eleven and a half thousand corn plants by hand last year- I'm old and it nearly killed me :) Haven't planted much this year- insects got into my seed store and most of the kernels have a tiny hole drilled in them and the germ eaten out. My main milking cow is about to calve- my Jersey herd is about to increase by twenty five percent :)

[@tom4412]

In UK that water trough would definitely sell to someone to have in their garden to plant flowers in. And can you sell those trees in the mown paddock.for fire wood

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I thought it would be a good vegi garden 👌

[@tom4412]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer yep fill it with compost and some very well rotted manure 👍

[@KiwiJim13]

👀🙄🐾👍 You didn't do to badly with the silage bales your getting good with the drone

[@lukehillier2262]

How are your bulls going

[@brianjonker510]

How old are those bull calves and about what are they worth in NZ? Here in the USA a 200kg intact Jersey bull is worth about $650. Not to many years ago that same size would be worth $250

[@alpinefarmer1794]

Is that $650 usd? We're nowhere near that in nz. Dunno about Andrew but it's a struggle to find buyer's for bull calves.

[@KiwiJim13]

​@@alpinefarmer1794For Landrat and kiwi cross Freisian and dairy short horn make good money

[@pixie706]

Will that bull calf be sold or will someone rear it on ?

[@mariannegoudswaard3996]

Nice drone shots, we live in pretty land

[@RileyMcEwan]

Hi What is the songs that you use when you put your drone up?

[@MarkDonnelly-j9v]

Hi i like your video

[@lanasibolangfarm]

Bila peternakan seperti ini ada di Indonesia, pasti banyak yang berniat mencuri 😢

[@martinconnolly3227]

You would want be paying a premium for baling on those steep hills. We had one paddock and contractor said never again.

[@percykingston2240]

leaving grass on the ground for longer that 36 hrs is reducing your feed value in the bale .

[@keithmchugh2558]

It's after 24 hours it starts to lose its quality

[@jaycarter4867]

​@@keithmchugh2558 So you both know the type of grass ? the exact weather ? moisture content his after ? alot more factors to work on other than the time it spends on the ground. I would guess your both beef farmers 🙂

[@stephengoodwin467]

Yes 24 hours is the longest you should leave it on the ground before baling. As soon as you cut it the grass is dying and loosing feed value with every hour

[@brianjonker510]

This is all kinds of massive dumb

[@gregsullivan8956]

Video good. Music not so much
