The Crew and Equipment Behind a 240,000 Bale Hay Farm

Very likely the last baling day of 2023 is upon us! We spent some time staging what we think is probably the coolest drone video we have ever filmed. Enjoy and thank you for the support.

[@bobmoroney3643]

MY MAN CARL, THE LEGEND. Exactly the kind of worker every farm/business needs. Quiet, competent, looking to work not talk all day.

[@FarmingInsider]

Oh, trust me, Carl could talk the legs off a chair haha but he is no slacker. The world needs a lot more guys like him

[@evedallas8667]

Please Keep The Videos Coming! We LOVE YOU GUYS. It always makes my day when I can open up KZbin and you've posted a new video! Love it! Thanks for the ride! Be Blessed

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you for the support!

[@lancecornell5371]

One of your best videos yet. Loved the 6 balers side by side.

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you sir!

[@oby-1607]

My cows loved watching this video.

[@FarmingInsider]

Haha that’s awesome

[@markbickelhaupt4414]

So many tractors, on a Hay Day! Enormous Effort Guys! 👏👏👏👨‍🌾

[@messerattachments]

The video does a great job showcasing the hard work and dedication it takes to run a hay farm. Watching the teamwork and machinery in action is inspiring-it’s clear the farmers truly care about delivering high-quality hay

[@jeffmiller9986]

20 knotters in the same drone footage. Pretty cool!

[@FarmingInsider]

A lot of twine too!

[@WilliamQuisno]

Excellent video, really enjoyed it

[@FarmingInsider]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pamelaremel7477]

Never thought I'd enjoy watching hay baled! It's awesome!

[@peternewman958]

It’s the smell that’s the best thing about hay making.

[@FarmingInsider]

I completely agree!

[@stephenjambard64]

I added the approximate cost of all that equipment in that hay field and I ran out of zeros! Massive operation! Very impressive! Thanks

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you! It’s our passion

[@bobmoroney3643]

All right CARL. Answering all those questions so directly with great care. Love you Carl. This is the best video yet. Good job.

We used to live in southern Wisconsin in dairy country. We had a small place with four horses and grew hay on about three acres. Our neighbor would mow, rake, and bale two cuttings a season, three in a good year. We’d get approximately 500 bales out of the three cuttings and we had to sand stack all of them. We sold the place and moved to south Kentucky and now we watch our neighbor bale his hay while I sit on the porch with a cup of coffee. They always get three nice cuttings here compared to Wisconsin! I do t miss it at all. Have fun!

[@MrSirlulzalot]

Very cool❤

[@ronzimmerman8968]

This is so much more fun than the corn and soybean channels. Carl rocks!

[@FarmingInsider]

He does rock. Thank you!

[@tedduke1699]

The satisfaction of finishing!

[@rickortiz3964]

[@FarmingInsider]

You’re very right sir

[@bladewiper]

The shots of the six balers was excellent. At the rate you're selling hay, you guys will probably be sold out in no time.

In the mid 1950 s i ran a new holland super 77 pto driven baler with a Farmall 400 diesel tractor . Did quite a bit of custom baling , 1500 acre corn and bean farm . Boss said " in your spare time ,cut that 70 acre alfalfa field and put in the old dairy barn " SPARE TIME ????? !!!

[@kimfyffe2dronevideos74]

I Love my Mini 2 Drone almost as much as my wife

[@FarmingInsider]

Hahah drones are so fun

[@brianharrington5593]

We used to do that back in the early 60's with 3 balers, all with 6 bale stookers on the back, 2 self propelled swathers and me driving the rake over most of Halton County, Ontario for Hays Farms International. Old Tommy Hays would cut, rake, bale, and put in the barn on a 1/3 for 2/3 share of crop. I covered a lot of great agricultural land which has now been scooped up for housing developments. Makes me sick to my stomach to see all that great farm land go to houses, We had a crew of about 25 guys for the summer and we worked.

[@brianpritt4154]

another great video. Thanks. So you can get hay to dry this late in the season?

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you! We sure try. We tedded this I think 4 times

[@Diddley-js6lf]

I live north of Flint, Michigan in Clio. But I will tell you I Sure Love Ohio, From Maumee, Canton, Mt. Orab, Vevay, Cincinnati, West Chester, Wooster, Middletown, Hamilton, Chillicothe, every single one was a AutoZone. A lot of Work and a Lot of Time in Ohio, I Guess that’s why I love Ohio so much because if you form an Opinion while on Driving on I-75 Through Ohio then you would probably say it’s not for Me, but when you get off the Highway into the back Roads of Ohio then it’s a Beautiful Place. About the only time I don’t like Ohio is when The Wolverines Plays The Buckeyes in Football. A few days before and after we don’t drive through Ohio because your liable to get pulled over. Lolll no just kidding

[@FarmingInsider]

You’ve seen some great parts of our state

[@Diddley-js6lf]

I was down in Medina a few Months ago looking at some Freightliners Dump Trucks, we couldn’t make the deal we needed to. We was able to Make a Deal with a Mennonite Amish Man over off 18 south east of Findley. We used to Build AutoZones all over Ohio a few Years ago we called it good traveling all over, the last Store we Built was in Nashville, Tennessee. I kinda of miss it but my Son has Taken Over, I retired from Both The Fire Department after 23 Fast Years and then the Construction Company I started 32 years ago. I had my First Grandchild so my life is geared for them now at Three Now Two Girls and one Boy they are all three Great Kids.

[@terrygernstl7405]

Have I missed something somewhere ? How’s the progress on your new building. I hope you can use it this year. That’s impressive as is all those tractors and other equipment you have. The people are the ones that make it all possible though. Great team effort ! Where in Alabama was that shipment going ? Just curious. Thanks for the video.

how do they unload the bales out of that trailer ????

[@Panzerwagen37]

By hand or with a telehandler like the one they use to fill the trailer with

[@galewinds7696]

240 thousand bales? That's a small farm in Tennessee 😅.

Why don't you use big bale balers instead of running it through a bale baron I think that's what you doing

Is this a union firm hurry up and get to work bail some damn hay already!I’m already done. Of course I’m only on 82 acres and I didn’t bail any hay this year. I win.😂

[@FarmingInsider]

Haha sometimes it takes us a bit to get going

[@xSCHEF]

Man, with the size of this of this operation it’s about time to invest in KRONE or CLAAS because you guys are losing so much time and quality. The crop you guys are processing is amazing, drop dead gorgeous honestly, but I can’t even imagine taking on this kind of work with that equipment. You’ll be 30% faster with better quality bales just going with a 2015 Krone let alone the new models.

[@FarmingInsider]

What equipment are you referring to?

[@xSCHEF]

@@FarmingInsider the balers.

For small squares, the Massey inlines are pretty highly regarded
