I have a Lot of Respect for ALL the Hard Working Farmers out there providing for ALL of us. Thx!👍

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Thanks so much for watching and the support!! It means a lot.

[@robertblalock5009]

Dolly acts like she has been to obedience school. When her boss speaks she stops, worth her feed. The lady is a beauty.

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Thank you ... I work a lot with these dogs day in and day out. They go every where with us. Sometimes more than the kids do at times - - a Great dog takes years to make. Ryder is only a year and half old and she’s coming at 6 months.

Def very good quality!!!~ First Cut Alfalfa - on to grass this week

[@arzamumma1202]

Hi Kayla........... I remember those 90 degree days, no cabs, pulled New Holland 77 baler, Wisconsin powered 4 cy engine with wagon behind baler. We stacked 90 bales per wagon and did maybe 4-5 wagons a day....To the barn, off loaded bales into a 40 foot New Idea bale elevator up into barn at temps 100 plus !!!!! After 5 loads you eat supper and went to bed !!!!

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

BTDT

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Some days we bring them in & he’ll unload while I continue to bale. Other days we fill trailers til we have to unload. Anymore it’s just easier to load it all the day and then he spends the morning unloading while the dew burns off. Allowing us to get home at a more decent time!

[@donaldmack7213]

We enjoy all your videos! I hope everyone is wearing lots of sunscreen. That sun is nasty on the skin after years of working in it. I get precancerous areas frozen off all the time. Just wanting to help.

[@MalardDje]

I am the women of the agriculture and I will be happy

[@bigears4426]

That's a nice bit of ground , and a good cut

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

It was!!

[@garysoutham8746]

Hi Kayla , i love your videos and those dogs are so sweet. I gather they are Austraillian Cattle Dogs. I am a subscriber and watch your videos. By the way greetings from Ontario ,Canada

[@patrickgrandy6665]

Love yr channel happy haying

[@bigatruckingandhuskies5976]

Dolly was so cute. Jumping, than laying down after you said hey. And even cuter when she started crawling towards you.

[@beacherater]

Nothing like fresh hay on the farm!

[@beacherater]

Fresh alfalfa hay, love the smell!

[@manoelluzimario9950]

[@twa77]

Have not bailed hay since the late 70’s when they bought our property for DFW Airport but I do remember the smell and it was great. Just like after plowing the black soil it had a great musky smell. I will never forget.

[@royjeter121]

Looking good be safe

[@danfinley3690]

Looks like ya had a nice day having kids with ya is always a joy god bless

[@davidschlecht3016]

Kayla, great to see you getting started on the hay. That was one of my favorite times of year.The smell of fresh hay is one of the great smells on the farm and also corn silage is another. The baling I did was with a thrower into wagons. The good old days. Good luck and hope no issues to stop your progress.

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Yes I was beginning to think we’d never get in there! But here we are. Doing it all over again this week 🌾

[@donangst9120]

Amazing video wish I could have been there to enjoy the great smells

[@ronaldwinder5051]

Oh, how I love this smell of alfalfa hay, no other hay like it! We rake our hay like y'all do but we only have a 12-wheel high speed rake. If our grass hay is quite heavy, we ted it but never tedded alfalfa when we used to raise it.

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Yea - if we Ted it’s extremely rare!!! I’m Not sure we even pulled it out at all last year - for us it’s just not necessary- and Jason won’t ever Ted Alfalfa due to leaf loss

[@ronaldwinder5051]

Yes, that's the same reason we never tedded alfalfa, the leaf loss. If the weather permitted us to bale it dry, Carl hired a guy with a big square baler to come in and bale it for us. He started late in the evening after the dew came on to save more leaves. It made for a late night hauling it in from the field but was well worth it.

[@doubleglfarms9750]

Beautiful country! Thank you for sharing!

[@irmamiller448]

That is some hard work right there, we always stacked the bales on a wagon and went straight to the loft in the barn. Of course that was 40 yrs ago, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Loved seeing Dolly jumping in hay. Thanks for all you do.

[@kb80909kbbbbb]

Nice operation! When I was young, I would stack the hay on wagons, right behind the square baler. keep up the good work!

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Jason used to have some Hay Wagons when we first started dating - ones that picked the bales up and stacked um. But they would fall in the barn - the stacks wouldn’t hold. Which led us to the the Kuhns setup we now have. Makes life so much easier doing hay with as much volume we do!

[@expertdrive7061]

Good work 👍

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Thanks for watching!

[@bryanginder5903]

Fresh cut hay is a great smell!!

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Absolutely!!! Although to be honest I can’t stand the smell of Alfalfa that is being mowed but give it 10 hours after it’s cut .. best aroma there is!

[@bryanginder5903]

@@ChroniclesofKayla o no, I love the smell from cut to baled! Alfalfa to grass, especially if their is a little sweet clover mixed in!! Just as good as opening up a bag of fresh calf feed o so good!😊

[@williammatzek4660]

Dolly may want to herd balers!

[@patrickjones8754]

Definitely thought that was a middle finger in the picture 😂😂😂 and then thought "Yup, real farming".

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Bahaha NO ... but maybe I should rethink the thumbnail huh 🤔

[@paulprigge1209]

First cutting alfalfa?

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Yes - late this year (for us!) but weather just hasn’t worked - laying more hay down today!

[@paulprigge1209]

@@ChroniclesofKayla That’s what I thought it’s unbelievable this year. Enjoy your blue healers. Lol I can’t believe that both of them on the tractor.

[@pasqualemennillo9140]

Ciao bella

[@genechronister7085]

Another great vid! Keep em coming!

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertruckel5352]

I'm guessing about 400 balys out of that field I'm jealous im in CA we're so dry some fields we're not even planting these year

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

We got in 1795 small squares & 24 Large squares total for 36 acres here -

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

Some really nice hay there ! I am surprised that you don't need a tedder to make it happen when bad weather is forecast. Not much damage to the hay if done early in the day with dew and at a slow rotor speed . Green colour is paramount if selling to equine sector .

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Yes majority of our hay sent out is too the Equine or Dairy industry. So green is HUGE. Relative Feed Value & protein is KEY for us.

[@attorneylawanmcgee4170]

About five hundred

[@jamesswaim12]

2,500 small squares for tht field and it looks like it has some pretty good alfalfa in it

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Is the walking floor trailer yours then? That's a pretty sweet rig! Mam how many wheels is that rake? I love mine but wish it had hydraulic swing arms 😒... impossible to set the angles by hand 😝

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Oh ok, 16 wheel. I tried not using my center wheel but it left my hay too damp

[@This1LifeWeLive]

🤣🤣 I wipe the extra grease on the tire too!!

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Lol you’re the best girl ... no the walking trailers aren’t ours. I got some video of the one that came Friday !

[@robertblalock5009]

A grease gun will sometimes keep the mechanic off the payroll.

[@pseggons9512]

Are they bird nest boxes on the fence posts along the drive

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Yes. Typically we have tons of the birds!! Not sure if it’s the wet spring and now hot heat but they aren’t here like they have been in the past.

[@nicholasreid977]

FINALLY!!!!......some red equipment......lol....

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Lol don’t stress there’s still plenty of red ❤️

[@robertmarino2158]

How fast is Jason going with the speed rake , mph with that tractor ?

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

He said anywhere between 12-15mph - the faster the better!

[@nicholasreid977]

By the way do you spray your alfalfa for weavels.......or you not bothered by them there.?

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

If it’s too short to cut the hay we will spray if need be. However if it’s right at peak mowing - we just mow it down ... we have really only had “potatoe leaf hopper” in the past years that he’s sprayed for.

[@denniswagner9713]

Do you sell most of the Hay? I see lots of trailers around Is that for transport?

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Last year we baled right under 30,000 small squares - 85-90% gets sold / shipped out. We have 5 trailers that allow Jason to keep loading without having to unload at the end of the day -

[@attorneylawanmcgee4170]

2100 bails

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Almost!! would of been had he not baled any Large Squares that day.. we hit nearly 2200 Saturday .. even with the baler going down .. watch for that video to come :)
