How Much Money 15 Acres Of Alfalfa Makes

[@HorsleyLandy88]

I remember as a kid when friends were bailing, we all helped. Good memories.

[@dagneytaggart7707]

I learned to drive in hay fields with my brothers throwing and stacking.

I have a John Deere L139. Mainly used for cutting hay and silage.

[@rovert97]

props to your lady for raw dogging the bales without gloves

[@meme-pv3lx]

The cleaner that you keep the knotter, the better it will work. Fond memories of bailing time in Michigan.

[@robervin9107]

This was magnificent thank you Josie for balancing your work schedule with helping out the guys Your best the fandom appreciate it. Lol Spencer with the glasses on just chilling. Like a celeb. 😂. Hilarious. Grant. His deep vocals and big heart What a tremendous man

Bale hooks, start with one, then one in each hand, once you get the hang of it, its way faster and easier. We baled hay for years, stacking wagons until Dad finally broke down and bought a kicker. Great breakdown on profits as always and dangers of cutting too late in the year!

[@spencerhilbert]

Right on!

[@JohnF0X]

a cool video would be having a seasoned farmer come in at the end of the year and do a 2 year recap with him, see where you stand, where you can improve and such

[@FarmandSpeed]

that is the perfect style rake for alfalfa. Your old bar rake will knock and shatter a lot more of the leafs off. Keep up the good work! I enjoy your and Grants vids!

[@joshbarrowcliff3019]

Sept 15 is my last day to cut alfalfa, especially on new seeding, to allow enough regrowth for winter. If it was an older stand 5-6 years old and was being tore up the next, i wait as long as possible, but before a frost. I've cut and baled hay just before Christmas once, but that was just grass. Alfalfa should keep under 18% moisture, you can always toss salt on the bales if they are a little wetter(old timer trick). If you want some info on hay or hay equipment, there are 2 guys who have a really good knowledge of hay equipment west of your farm a few miles. Ask the guy who round baled your hay who they are, and he'll tell ya.

[@timlee2243]

Nice video Spencer I think Josie is doing a nice job stacking

[@IowaSons]

💯

Josie works hard at bail loading she is a Keeper. Thank you for the update.

That's awesome, and Grant's tractor is in good shape! Beautiful tractor 🚜

Always a fan of your Videos. Great Work as always!

[@steveneal2706]

Great video guys. Thank you guys

[@BF4TehWin]

You should look into Johnson Su composting bioreactors. I am a farmhand in Colorado, and my boss started using this method to make compost to apply to fields as a compost tea (we have to irrigate everything so it's easy for us to add to the center pivots). This is our first full year of doing this and we just got our 5th cutting off the alfalfa. Normally we get only 3 maybe 4 cuttings and the yield per acre is at least 10% more for each cutting than previous years.

[@davidankenbrand6503]

I really enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@micheleneanderson7739]

Cool to see you doing Alfalfa hay it is a lot more familiar seeing as I am from Utah

[@rwfoxtrot]

I bet that steering feels light with the mower raised up on the back and no weight on the front!!! Good looking crop for 3rd cut of the season.

Thats what i am doing this year i planted alfalfa and going to square bale next summer

[@daveydacusguitars9033]

It's been a while.... but my mom used to help out on a horse farm with show horses, western pleasure mostly. They fed alfalfa regularly, the bails were always much heavier than any other bails like Timothy or whatever else they had at the time. The best hay always seemed to me to be slightly moist, and really heavy. I think that aspect of it is completely normal. I'm not there touching and feeling and smelling it, but that cutting looks to be what we would have thought was very desirable hay at that time. I could swear they were paying $10 and even OVER that even back then... probably 15 years ago.... for good quality alfalfa. Maybe it's more competitive out your way, but I would make sure you aren't selling yourself short at $8 and $10 per bail. Unless you are selling it to people who are then reselling again maybe. I don't think alfalfa was easy to come by in our area (north Georgia) at that time, only a hand full of people growing it. And some of it could have been coming from quite a distance, so we might have been paying for it being transported as well. I don't really know, I was pretty young. In my teens still at the time. I always thought the alfalfa smelled amazing, being in that entire field of it has to smell great haha the horses definitely loved it. It would give them lots of energy, so it was fed sparingly. Sometimes only like half a flake at a time along with other hay and pellets or oats or whatever they gave that particular horse. And I was told it helped enhance their coats. And these were show horses, so that was a big priority. Anyway, yeah, good lookin hay from what I can tell without touching and feeling it.

[@mr.rubber_duck]

Grants 4020 should really have some front weights for using that mower

[@thochstetler]

You've taken great care of the 4020.

[@Thor-g8g]

You need some front wait on the 4020 cab tractor while mowing

[@NewFarmer123]

good vid

[@joejohnson8490]

That disk mower cuts a lot faster than that sickle mower.

[@AKsnowball]

I can’t remember your girl friends name but she’s a keeper when she’ll stack hay on a wagon!

[@codygreenwood1014]

Can you do a shop tour and a tool box tour

[@Blackwellll3066]

I'm courious on ya area for small squares cuz you could pick up more acres doing custom baling if there is a high demand with not alot people baling small squares

[@Augmented-yw5mk]

Are you going to do a 2 year video

[@mr.rubber_duck]

I feel like those feilds should yeild more might want to do some soil sampling

[@Foolboy2022]

It’s Josie

[@edtoebes]

Its not out of time. The brake on the knotters is not holding. 336 wont go out of time unless you mess with the gears or chains.

[@spencerhilbert]

Yup that was the issue. Didn’t do a good job videoing and didn’t fully comprehended how it worked until later on and didn’t put it in the video. One of the bolts got loss and the brake wasn’t tight enough.

[@lawrencemonlezun6213]

Planting first alfalfa crop this fall…any suggestions?

Hey Spencer, why did you take the loader off of your 4020

[@joejohnson8490]

Spencer, why don’t you teach her how to run the tractor so you can stack the bales?
