You definitely have to get a demo of the McHale Fusion 4 baler next season. It’s a fixed chamber baler like the Krone, but uses film instead of net. This means when you’re working with dry crops you need less rotations on the wrapper thus saving film. The other big benefit is in feeding the bales. You don’t have to separate net out & you have only one waste stream. Once you’ve used film you’d never want to go back to net. 👍
Thank you for the great idea on the film, we have been curious on this as well! It will be our winter project to dive into that as an option for wrapping. The day will definitely come when we can try the McHale, but our local Krone Deal (Noble Equipment) sets the bar very high on customer service and the Krone gear has yet to let us down. We aren't against the other brands in any way, I'm sure they build great products as well! Thank you again for the great ideas!

Do you test for nitrates before you cut? Millets are pretty versatile plants. Might not yield as much dry matter than other crops but are much better at handling dry tough conditions.
Couldn't agree with you more on its ability to handle the tough conditions! We were very impressed with the millet. We don't test for Nitrates beforehand unless the crop was subject to something like hail. In that case, we would yes.
It would be possible to ted it for sure, however we let this field sit for 36 hours, and it was ready to bale without having to make an extra pass. We like to lay the crop as wide as possible instead of creating a swath, so we can get more air and sun through it to dry it.
We’ve grown millet for a few years. Those we sell it ti love it. We plant it after fall triticale. One field we cut the triticale middle first of June a planted millet. And cut it early and will be cut next week. We bale ours in 3x4 square at 12%. My son want to go into baleage as well.
I'm learning a lot of stuff that I didn't know could be done. (I'm a virtual farmer lol, I play FS22 with my kids) I thought that millet was something that was harvested with a combine, same with triticale actually. Didn't know you could mow them for silage. I knew about the friends with benefits already though. But that's a term i use for something else entirely 🤣 but that one is very important and I'm not in the ag life, though I'd take that over what I do for a living now if I thought I could make what I'm making lol. I live in a city that's right next to Seattle. Have lived here 23 years. In my little community within the city there's probably 1100 homes, and I know at least 75% of those folks in a first name basis. Half of those I have phone numbers for. I have numbers for 100% of the folks within a 3 block radius of my house and we communicate frequently. And our little pocket of the city is the safest in the entire city. We all pay attention to what's going on, strange vehicles get reported thru a chain of text threads, our kids are safe. If someone has a medical episode and can't do their yard work, there's a massive crew of us that go tackle it in short order. We did each other's cars, houses, and the block parties twice a year are goddamn insane! We're having our last one of the year this weekend. One of the neighbors is in a band so they always play good music. Another guy owns a catering company, so we all eat phenomenally well. This will go on until about 0200 Monday morning when everyone staggers home, then we all come back around noon to clean everything up, then it's back to the grind. Friends with benefits? We call that community 🤘😎🤘
Very well Said @TheBigg Riggz! that sense of community is an amazing thing, I hope everyone has the chance to experience that. A lot of our societal problems could be cured if we could all just be nice to one another, rather that stepping on one another to try and only benefit ones self. The collateral benefit of friends is the comradery between people and help when someone needs helping.
I don't think that your millet was planted too late, I planted mine on July, 15. Haven't cut it yet but ours looks great. Our millet is double cropped on oats stubble. It is called White Wonder Millet
Very interesting timeline, thank you for sharing! you will likely see more Millet in our fields and on the channel in the future. Thank you for watching!

❤ great job 🎉 I'm Punjabi farmer I like it
Thank you! And thank you for watching!

If it’s a tough crop, is it possible to ted it out, to aid drying?

Oh wow, I hope one day we could grow those 2 crops in the same year as well! How did your millet do for protein?
@@farminainteasy I never asked.
Sure like your triple mower. Been running with baler oats here. The yields have been good on it. Lots of leaf to it as well.
very nice!!! congrats a good harvest!

@@farminainteasy I baled it yesterday and got 120 bales off of 50 acres (dry hay not sliage)
I’d come work for ya! I also live in Alberta. A little bit more north
Awesome, glad to hear we have another local viewer of the channel! Thank you for watching our videos. What Part of Alberta are you from?
