You must be the neighbor that gets everyone else stirred up to cut hay!! Lol 😆. I’ve been resisting the temptation so far, probably crack on the weekend. Calling for showers tomorrow but we’ve missed most of this week while grimshaw and peace river get them.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Actually yes..I got texts right away about how I was going to make it rain now. Lol

[@sagecrockett693]

Pa's thinking about the hay: "Meh, just another year." Lol.

Good morning Tyson. The hay looks good. Your dad looks well. 👍

Exactly my old alfalfa has some blooms and my new stuff has next to nothing. But my baler is presently in pieces and I was waiting for parts. I have parts now but I can haul grain for the next couple days. Always something to do

[@Northern_Farmer]

Always something

[@smallvillefarmer]

Very Cool!

[@Northern_Farmer]

Thanks

[@ajskab99]

We just finished our first cutting for custom hay. It was 95-100 the entire time we did hay in June. Kept having problems with ACs in our tractors. I think we’ve got it figured out now. But I’m wore out now.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job cutting hay Shaun

Case / hesston looks to be in reality nice shape

[@Northern_Farmer]

Yea I restored it

[@paulcasefarms9933]

Your Hay cutters look to do a real nice job! I love family farming operations where there are multiple generations working. My farm is on land that some of it has been in my family for over 100 years and we currently have 3 different generations active in day to day operations. I know family makes it hard sometimes but it also is what makes it work! Thanks for the video.

[@nellsonstout7001]

In my part of south central IN, a lot of us are looking at the possibility of a one cut season as hot and dry as it is (which isn’t typical for us on grass)

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Unless it's Alfalfa, red clover, or sudan, we only get one cutting in NW Oregon, just a lot less tonnage the last few years with the drought...

[@Amaranthian450]

Wow nice hay. Our hay is growing like crazy but it won’t stop raining long enough in Manitoba to turn a wheel. Not even seeding

Same here

Good day 450 I'm from Ontario. Are u saying u didn 't finish seeding? Thanks

[@Amaranthian450]

@@donvoll2580 in my immediate area most guys are less than 20%. But I read a report today that said Manitoba is on average about 80% seeded. So far I’ve only put in about 15 acres of cover crops. My plan was for about 250 acres of covers, I don’t do any grain farming yet, all for cattle feed.

A lot of big outfits use auto steer on their haybines and swathers.. You have enough big flat fields, it would work great.

[@larrybg9293]

I was wondering when you where going to cut some hay. Nice to see Shawn again and his epic commentary leave me speechless haha. What does your dad think about the crazy weather? good stuff stay safe and i hope the crops turn out good.

[@Northern_Farmer]

It's late hay this year..usually by this time hay is just the right stage..but it's so young still

[@piperdoug428]

hey Shaun's mum wheres our icecream??

[@ajskab99]

What was the problem that the Case windrower was having last year? I know it was fuel related, but I don’t remember what the fix was.

[@norcalray7182]

Witch machine does a all around better job. I see two different types of head's? Great video

[@Northern_Farmer]

They both have their place...the rotary head is faster

[@BillStecik]

Sure wish that i had 1 of those hay combines , not the red 1 tho, its pretty noisy . Glad to see you started . A slow start is better than a no start .

[@Northern_Farmer]

Just baled last night finaly

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

Lighter alfalfa and heavier grass makes for awesome calf feed...cows are the opposite...crops are looking good 👍👍

[@Northern_Farmer]

They like it to

[@billbooth4147]

Are big square balers very popular in your neck of the woods ?

[@Northern_Farmer]

Not really at all...I know of one person who has one cause he ships Timothy out of the country..but he's not using it now..bought 2 round balers
