    Every time I see how hard it is to farm,I am in awe,I can't help but think how hard it was for the earlier farmers before they had big equipment, with the younger generation getting so lazy I guess it will be synthetic chicken and beef,and lab grown veggie in the future, maybe it will be like the jetsons just put water on a pill and have a whole plate of food,glad I won't be around to see that😁❤thank you

    You need to find an old crimper to break the stems, to dry it out faster. But if you get more than two passes behind the mower, it will plug up constantly. You need two tractors and operators to use a crimper. Time for a haybine!

    I think one of first priorities should be trying to purchase a good used mower conditioner it might eliminate some time and machinery wear and tear. Mower Conditioners are especially helpful in
    Leafy crops such as alfalfa and lespedeza which is where most of the feed value is in the plant.....

    Save it as long as you can, and sell it when people are in more need of it during autumn, winter or spring if possible, not only to raise your profit from it, but also for people to might get a possible rescue feed if needed

    The Hay looks great. I had wondered if it was the bugs on the hay. AgPHD did a series on how to check for them and it was really interesting. They used a butterfly net to check for them. They had sprayed the hay for the pest. You can find them on UA-cam. Hope it helps.

  • @stevemartinez6757
    @stevemartinez6757 3 роки тому

    One product that I have had success with and highly recommend over Slime for the tires is called Tireject. I don't know if it's sold in stores or not, but I was able to order it online. It's a bit pricey, but it successfully sealed a tire on my skid steer, 2 tires on my Polaris Ranger and a tire on my John Deere Gator. After using the product with success I would never buy Slime again.
    The hay field is looking good.

  • @stubbi

    I think you might want to open the Tedder and see if you can change the gears for it to make it speed much slower. I think its still too fast.

  • @HoneyHollowHomestead
    @HoneyHollowHomestead 3 роки тому +8

    This haying season has been nuts. We had a small window of dry weather where some people cut hay around here. Then there was some rain, and then an even smaller window where a bunch of people cut who didn't cut during that longer window, including the guy I was hoping to get hay from. This is the fourth day in a row that it has rained. Don't know if they had enough time to bale the hay that was cut, or if it was a loss. 😕 We don't usually have this much rain this time of year.

    MOre unasked for advice. When you get tired of airing up tires because of pesky thorn holes get and use some Tireject. It works,good stuff,but it is expensive.Lots of reviews on youtube. my channel included.Got it in: 4 wheeler tires that had too many thorn holes to count,2 wheel mini trailer with junk Chinee tubes and tires,(surprised me that it worked on tubed tires),front tractor tires on JD 1250 and 5302.Wheelbarrow tire,2 wheel cart tires,riding lawnmower tires.Really good stuff.

    When using the ratchet strap method to reset the beads on the tire, using a block of wood under neath the ratchet mechanism. It will allow you to easily remove the strap when done and will keep the sharp metal from gouging the tire. I find it helps on small tires.
