We Wrapped 305 Rye Grass Haylage Bales On Our Second Field!

[@infinitescenarios]

This is awesome seeing different aspects of farming. We bale round coastal Bermuda bales for horses, so we just use net wrap and load em in the barn. Fascinating to see the different goals and operations.

[@FarmerHunt]

Nice! Hope y’all’s hay season is going well so far this year.

[@doublejfarmshomestead4501]

Sure did enjoy the video. I’m so thankful your hay is turning out good. Ours is turning out good too. Sure do appreciate y’all

[@FarmerHunt]

Thank you! Glad yall are off to a good start.

I have been thinking about you and your family with all those storms that have been hitting the Southern States. Especially in Alabama. Hope all is well with you and your families. Stay safe. 😊

[@FarmerHunt]

Thank you very much! We had some thunderstorms roll through but luckily nothing else. I’ve seen a lot on the news about tornadoes hitting the south but fortunately we didn’t have any of that.

Thank you!

[@Mr1winther]

Thanks for sharing.. nice to se you thinking about the angle, before starting.. how many layers of plastic? What water% you prefer in you wraphay? Regards from Denmark..

[@FarmerHunt]

Thank you! We typically have the plastic doing a bout a 3-4" space from one roll to the next if that makes sense. Typically a roll of plastic will do about 40 bales. We like our moisture content to be in the high 40's and even 50's if it doesnt' get ahead of us. Occasionally some of it will dry out faster than we can get it baled and it may be in the lower 40's. Thanks for watching. Hope to visit Denmark one of these days.

Man, and just think if y’all had a been able to put that chicken litter out I would have been close to the number I guessed 360 lol 😂, all jokes aside so glad the Lord is blessing yall with a good hay season, Good looking hay and that hay rapper is pretty neat never seen one operate until now 👍 love y’all’s channel, God bless

I missed the name of the Little Guys youtube channel was it “presents playhouse”, ?? Thanks for the Video.

[@FarmerHunt]

Their channel is Cousin's Playhouse. I have 3 kids and Eric has 2 and they have enjoyed making some youtube videos.

[@jeremyhead95]

I’m just curious with 305 bales how many rolls of wrap did y’all have to use?

[@FarmerHunt]

I think. we started with 4 partial rolls of wrap and then we changed all 4 our twice. When we finished we still had maybe 1/3 of a roll left on each roller. I think with the way we wrap you can do close to 40 bales with a roll of plastic.

[@r.scotthill3082]

What range of moistures do you wrap baleage, haylage, dry hay at?

[@FarmerHunt]

Baleage usually upper 40's to low 50's. Sometimes we are a little under sometimes we are a little over. Dry hay is ually 14-18%

[@brianhammond2307]

How many bales of hay do y'all normally feed in one winter?

[@FarmerHunt]

Probably around 1200-1500. It always varies depending on how cold the winter is, how much rye grass we plant and also how early we start feeding. It was so dry in 2023 that I think we started feeding a good bit of hay in late September or early October.

[@brianhammond2307]

How many cows do y'all have?

[@westbamafarmer]

Y’all ever had problems with animals tearing in the bales? Thanks for the video

[@FarmerHunt]

Fortunately we have not. I have heard of other farmers having issues with that though. Seems like I saw a picture on social media where some crows had pecked a bunch of holes in some haylage one time.

[@matthewlwade-l1o]

I wood say 150 two 160
