GREATEST HAYING VIDEO EVER!

GREATEST HAYING VIDEO EVER! - It has been really dry here in Southern Iowa and the hay has been reflecting that. We have a first here where we get three mowers mowing at the same time and we try out some American Flag net wrap!
We found the wrap at agzaga.com/ - they're your online farm store!
In the video we cover everything from mowing hay, raking hay, baling hay, and stacking hay.
Remember #AmericaNeedsFarmer and Happy 4th of July!

When you guys get your pumpkin patch store going are you going to have a Wayne Day so we can meet him??

[@robertfunk6304]

Great hay video and even better music to go with it

[@billwhitman1529]

Good call Ben, I was telling the screen, more wraps, 2 reasons, it will hold better and look better at the pumpkin patch.

Andrew is quite a punny guy! 😉

Hi from sunny and HOT California. Enjoyed the new video. Say hello to Molly. Have a great 4th of July weekend.

Thank you! You too!

American Flag wrap is nice. Will we get to see the FFA wrap sometime?

I'm sure glad changing that net wrap was simple. 😊

If it doesn't rain in most of Wisconsin second crop hay will be very very short. Hoping it can rain soon.Way too hot also. Thanks 😮.

Difficult to identify a "greatest" hay production video, however, if yours were to be selected, it would be do to Andrew's participation. He did not pay me to write this but if he had asked, I would have accepted payment .🗽🇺🇸🚜👌

Hello

Getting $80.00 per 4x5.5 heavy fertilized round bales for 2nd cutting hay. Custom bail for $30.00 per roll. Rain has stopped so production is going to slow down with temps averaging 100 plus. Love your videos.

Hay is a little short here in central Ky slow growing this year. Who’s hay ground are we working on sir? THANKS EVERYONE !!

I'm in upstate NY. Hay was weeks late and not terribly thick. We had some heavy, late frosts. Raised hell with the fruit trees. A lot of fields haven't been touched yet.

I got my hay rolled up last week. 26 round bales off of 9 acres. I live in Western Iowa.

[@iowANFarmer]

Not bad!

[@howardyounger5456]

hay is very high here too. got up to $ 16 for a small square bale around march . i sold out by October. last year was a terrible year. so dry that even with irrigation there wasnt enough water. this year just got my first up. three weeks late. wont stop raining. here in Colorado we are wet. nice to have the rain though.

Hay hay southern IA. Good to hear you got that much rain! Loved the video. If you got a baler, what would you get?

[@peteparker7396]

While I like the version Zach Bryan sings better, that gal has an amazing voice. Your better half picks the songs if I’m guessing 😏 Ben if you ever get a chance, try a new holland mower and baler. While we no longer round bale, went to midsize bales because we feed most of ours, they truly have great hay equipment. Glad Andrew made an appearance!

2nd cut alfalfa outside Lincoln, NE (exceptional drought)....400#/ac, 1st cutting was 1150-1200#/ac Cool season grass...basically wasn't worth the fuel.

Excellent video. Neighbors just bailed across the road . Try adding an accumulator to your bailer. Makes gathering the bails much more efficient.have a safe and happy 4th of July

SW Manitoba the hay crop is looking pretty decent. for the first time in 6 years every field is worth cutting. far cry from 750 pounds to the acre average.

[@jamieshields9521]

Nice net wrap. Interesting I always thinking how improve crops in dry years, it would interesting raking onto row of corn that establish to see moisture is retained n organic matter is increased aka like hay that helps in veg patch? I would have crunch numbers especially how many rows vs grass area in between rows of corn. I would like try composting too.

[@joshuawilliams8555]

Hay around here is hit and miss. I know some people have had the best hay crop in years and some it's not worth going over. As for us our hay is less than a third of last year's cutting. With the price of fertilizer and diesel it's running us 71 dollars a roll and we can buy it for 45 a roll. It's a failure this year for us. Done already sold a few head of cows to help with pasture

[@randybedker1584]

Dry in Michigan.

[@chadmullen3032]

Are the pumpkins up yet ? Sure looks dry out your way.. dust coming off the mower cutting green hay..

[@mikewoita8941]

The part that is missing is called the accelerator. It’s u shape. As they wear you switch it from left to right and right to left. They should last you 2 or 3 seasons

[@iowANFarmer]

I’ll check that out 👍👍👍

[@randybearing8986]

​​​@@iowANFarmerwe have an 18 model 946 the outside 2 have an accelerator and the rest of those bolts have a guard to protect the nut. You NEED those to get the nuts off, otherwise that will happen every time.

[@raysloan792]

Could have stacked them the same direction 😂😂 I'll blame Woodrow 😂😂😂😂😂

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

Good luck with the flag netting . We did 2500 bales of corn stalk bales with it and the netting didn't last a year and had over 1/2 of them rot off of them. Hey did you get hit with the wind storm? We got about 6" of rain but not much wind.

I think you have the incorrect bolts for the JD mower Ben. If I am correct, the JD’s use a KUHN mower deck and discs. There should be some topped bolts with a bit of square section shank that go in from the top with t nut facing down. I could be completely wrong of course.

[@TheRancher250]

So that Vermeer will feed net regardless of which way the roll is oriented? Noticed you put the roll in two different ways (wide blue to left/right side of the baler). That would cause major issues in a Deere. Wide stripe always goes to right side.

[@iowANFarmer]

No, I put it in backwards.

[@memyselfandifarmer]

Western pa, 30% + - less hay, good hay just less of it. A few days ago 180 round bales in a barn combusted.

That’s our guess here too. About 2/3 of a crop of hay.
