How Many Bales I Made Off 15 Acres

[@RadDadisRad]

Slightly moist hay has the best return in my experience. Too moist it molds, too dry it falls apart.

[@jeremyklar8135]

The desired moisture level depends on the type of hay. Alfalfa can be baled with more moisture than coastal or Sudan but I can’t remember the exact moisture levels that are in that range

[@suemcmenomy9567]

Direct seeding alfalfa in an alfalfa stand usually does not work well as the mature plants seem to poison out the newly seeded plants! Tried it over the years (40) and never worked. Saying that though, planted into grass or a very thin stand does sorta work sometimes !

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

Alfalfa produces auto toxicity, which prevents new plants from growing.

[@spencerhilbert]

This was planted 60 days after the original seeding. I saw a lot online you can get away with it if you come in early enough before the old alfalfa plants kill off the new germination. So far it looks good.

[@suemcmenomy9567]

Hopefully it works for you! I found that ripping up an old stand that was thin was better use for my time and money! Good luck!😊

[@spencerhilbert]

@@suemcmenomy9567 this isn't an old stand. This was newly seeded this spring.

Its beautiful how everyone knows one another and helps each other in rural/farm areas with no question

These videos are cool 👍

[@mr_alte_schule790]

Nice Videos keep It on 🔛👍

[@carterraduechel5769]

Did you plant any crops your gonna combine

[@farmingolivers831]

I wouldn’t tedder alfalfa. You’re gonna lose a lot of the leaves and just be baling stems. But good video!

[@spencerhilbert]

What about tedding right after you cut? lift in up and spread out better? I don't have a mower with roller/conditioner yet so trying to do the best with what I got for this year.

[@Zack_Flinn]

@@spencerhilbertfrom what I’ve seen it doesn’t matter whether it’s dry or freshly cut tedding or raking with throw off the leaves I use a 2360 John Deere swather with a 225 Chrysler and a 25ft head for cutting hay that doesn’t have a crimper so I let the hay sit for 3 days before baling so I recommend a haybine or a disbine since they will crimp it and it will cut faster

[@Shitter2k]

@@spencerhilbertthe roller conditioner is mostly for thick stemmed stuff like cutting sorghum or grazer for hay

[@Kermitgang2]

I love your videos

[@joloboy1167]

Some advice on alfalfa, in my experience it is best to not touch it when growing, no manure or nothing. Interseeding can help but i would avoid it. But its just some advice from belgium, so that wouldnt apply for the usa

Barney working hard!!!

[@ericcampbell9055]

How you keeping those wet round bales from getting hot?

[@MuhammadFarooq-pw7zc]

From which country you are??

[@DIRTYDOGSYT]

Nice man

[@Chad-i2q]

One question how hard is it to have an farm and keep it up?

[@aksmaks1229]

Did you use no till planter for direct planting ?

[@StackingOZs]

how many days do you have to let it dry in between each step?

[@warpedbeyondhelp]

Look into the effect of allopathy seating, alfalfa into established alfalfa.

[@hntruckman]

You know you don’t have to strap squares bales you have to stack them right and they will hold

[@paralyzedlife8763]

Man. I went through my furst hay year borrowing just a tractor. It dont work out. If i were you id find the funds to go buy a round baler first. A disc mower 2nd and a rake last. And if you can a tedder. Im still working funds for a tedder myself

[@JefferyAshmore]

Tender is not needed, did hay for 50 years.

[@paralyzedlife8763]

@@JefferyAshmore with weather as bad as mine. Yes it it. Alot of people get by without a tedder but it sure is nice to have round bales made before a big rain because of your tedder then to watch the rain fall and cuss yourself because your hay is ruined

[@JefferyAshmore]

@paralyzedlife8763 I am looking as a person starting out with limited Capitol. I live in illinois. Never lost hay crop, knock on wood.

[@russellearley4442]

I call bs on overseeding alfalfa. Just don't work

[@tylerknoll8135]

Next time you should not use a wheel rack because they pick up dirt and trash into your windrows instead you should use a Roadory rack or a basket rack this two don't pick up trash or dirt if they are adjusted right

[@MuhammadFarooq-pw7zc]

Can we buy land in your country?? For agriculture purpose

[@bassfishingtheappalachians7567]

30 squares to the acre? How many do you think is in a round bale?

[@JefferyAshmore]

30 squares a acre is terrible, should be at least 100 squares per acre.

[@headoftheholler4053]

Sounds like you made it just in time 😊dat don't happen All the time 😭 but take em when you get get em

[@Lilfarmerandhunter]

Like the vids 👍

[@marcelknaack6587]

In germany we have 30 Round bales/acere and 550 small bales/acere 😅

I'm 18 yrs old Indian farmer 🇮🇳 and since we don't depend on tools and technology much, and do majority of Work with bare hands it's 30x more tough farming here than America 😂 but I've got use to it cuz I've been doing it since i was 11 yrs old

[@blumaxx1]

Typical city farmer...doesn't know anything about farming 😢

[@suemcmenomy9567]

Oh that explains it! hasn’t had time to build up toxins. Sorry I must’ve missed that anyways good luck.

[@KansasColoradoFarmer]

So you don't do anything

[@trogdor20X6]

You're super screwed with Trump in office, sorry for you dude. Hope you can survive the next 4 years.

[@smas3256]

It should be against the law to tax farmers. Also stop the inheritance tax. All taxes are against the constitution except if we are attacked and have to pay for war. And then I wouldn't believe the news.
