Trying to square bale alfalfa and oat straw. Will it ever get dry??

Sometimes the weather cooperates and other times it is just downright frustrating. This week falls into the second category. Will we ever get it dried out enough to bale?

I really like your videos, Carl. Wholesome, educational and entertaining. Another great one!

[@raincoast9010]

"Haulin' Oats..." Man you had me laughing! I think you missed your calling! LOL

[@tnhillbilly1307]

Man ur awfully slick backing things into a shed lol first the semi and then the small baler with the stacker still behind it... great video as always 👍

[@adrianklaver113]

Oats, swather, pickup header, is Iowa now a Canadian province?

[@tomnugent845]

Nice job backing that baler and accumulator in!

[@gail8494]

Just love that rhythmic sound of the baler! Enjoyed the video! Thanks

[@TBlanktim]

That's one to put in the log book. A couple of hours and a six percent drop in moisture content. That is a useful data point. Great videos. Thanks.

[@janewingard7682]

Thanks for a great video. Always a joy to watch.

[@tedwazonek7956]

I’m Hall’n Oat’s. Lol 😂 that was good!!👍🏻🙏🏼✌🏼🚜

[@Greg_Gatsby]

Hall & Oats! 😂🤣 Good content. 👍

[@jerrymiller276]

As a singer, you make a mighty fine farmer!

[@matthewdavis4081]

Great video and the JD 4555 is becoming a rear tractor. Very cool to see it working hard running the big baler

[@canvids1]

🥰 I sure enjoyed watching everyone doing the haying. Growing up on a farm back in the early 50's I worked every summer school holidays on the farm.

[@hfff1]

That's some good chicken wranglin!

[@roberthocking9138]

Love the old school Inter and small baler, takes me back to the 1960s on my uncles farm in AUS.

[@robertpautsch5093]

What a nice story this week of the life of Carl. Just wondering what happens to the oats. Doesn't Carl fix flats? I thought he was a guy of a million talents HA HA.

[@bladewiper]

I have heard "intense grassing" works well. Not only do they eat every thing, but they are also not walking on every thing. This gives the grass more of a rest and a chance to grow.

[@karlrovey]

If you're referring to intensive grazing, they do walk over just about everything, but only for a small portion of the field at any given time.

[@timduthie6399]

Good to see some machines we haven't seen before. If you didn't lock up the hens would a Coyote or fox get them?

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Thanks Tim! We are definitely in an area with alot of raccoons and skunks. They love eating both chickens and eggs so we keep them locked up always at night. Often they get to run around during the daytime.

[@e.a.bfarms]

I don't think I missed a video but when did ur boss get the NH big baler? Or is this ur brothers boss? As always awesome video.

[@Husker3435]

G’job bud, so which one are you, John or Daryll 😁🤣😂keep em comin Carl🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

That's a sharp 4555. I looked at one but ended up buying my 4650.

[@hossblake]

You know you grew up on a farm when you grew up believing the actual name of the group was Haulin' Oats. 🤣

[@Navet63]

Hey Carl. How much do those big bales weigh? What is the model of the New Holland baler? Always great content. God Bless.

[@stevecarberry4851]

Do you need to swath the oats to harvest, or can one conventionally harvest oats with the proper header on a combine? My experience is solely with Red Winter Wheat.

[@BestFarmROI]

Farmers from Georgia, Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming, Arkansas, Iowa and New York are now using the new “SNX30 fertilizer supplement” that makes fertilizer affordable. Why would you doubt the WORD of 3 agronomists, a past Board Member of the New York Farm Viability Institute (and farmer), a Georgia Corn Commission Board Member (and farmer), top NCGA corn yield winners, soil structure and nutrient manager and other farmers about the unmatched benefits of the “SNX30 fertilizer supplement”? If you can't believe them, who can you believe? As one farmer put it - It almost feels like cheating.

[@gregnoorman837]

What do you do with the bales that were to “wet” ?

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Any wet “test bales” should be fed right away before they start to spoil.
