Yes, I say “hay” when it’s technically straw. It’s the same as someone calling every skid steer a Bobcat, or ever telehandler a Gradall. It’s not really that big of a deal, no need to email me about it…
Not here to argue just to add to the discussion, I slightly disagree with your characterization of straw, I was under the impression that straw is the leftover stalks of grains normally baled and used for animal bedding not normally of much nutritional value, whereas hay is grasses, and other plants grown specifically for animal food. That being said, I believe you said this product is going to Asia for animal food... no?
Hay is food. Straw is bedding. The two have completely different growing and processing requirements with straw being much much simpler. Hay has nutritional, palatablity, and moisture range requirements. Hay is a primary product while straw is a byproduct after the primary grain product has been removed. They are not even similar other than the equipment used.
Making hay is easy done it my whole life but haven mother nature on your side is damn near impossible!! The rain and believe it or not here in eastern Washington it gets to hot and won't dry out. That small mismatch binder means it's a working truck lol
Casey I definitely would like to see the new equipment I am curious to see what he has. I really enjoy the farming videos for sure they are a lot of fun to watch and learn stuff. Keep up the great work
In the blizzards in the Dakota's several times they used B52s to feed stranded herds they couldn't get to a B52 can haul alot of hay build Jesse a landing strip paint a B52 orange apply the company logo and he can buy hay from all over and fly it in
Murphy's Law is in full effect baling feed hay. A few weeks ago, had just baled a field here in NE Texas, where it hadn't rained in a month. As soon as we got it all square baled in the field, the clouds rolled in. It was all hands on deck, scrambling to get it into the barn before we got drenched. We barely made it, even though we all about got heat stroke from the effort in 98 degrees. Many people don't know that rain absolutely destroys hay. Once it's cut, it needs to dry and STAY dry.
Absolutely! We had thunderstorms roll through our area, delayed cutting some of the alfalfa, so it was over grown and already flowered out, then again storms while several fields were down. I drive rake, and those fields looked pitiful, between the rain and the sun from having to dry out, the tops of the rows were almost white. The overgrown stuff was also getting caught up in the rakes, I was having to stop and clear the rakes almost every turn.
Back in the day one of my summer jobs was cutting and bailing hay. All we had was open cab tractors in NE Texas 100 plus summers. Made dealing with the heat when I joined the army much easier. It also made me appreciate my AC in my truck.
Amazing industrial hay operation. When I was a teen I baled hay for several small farmers where you would bump along pulling the regular bales off the baler and stacking them on the moving trailer. The would occasionally drop early and go under the trailer and get stuck where you would have to stop everything to retrieve it. One farmer was in his 80s and was near deaf so he could not hear to stop the tractor. I finally picked up a hand full of pea sized pebbles put them in my pocked. Next stuck bale I took one and hit him in the back with it to get his attention. The first time he looked at me like he was mad until I pointed down at the stuck bale. He just nodded and stopped. He was ok with me throwing rocks at him after that...
I think every teenager should spend a summer putting up hay with the small bales I can't get kids to do it even for 15 cash an hr a few came out for a day 3 years ago and didn't like that my 15 and 17 (at the time) year old daughters could out work them and didn't even come back for their money I had to deliver it to their parents but my girls have been bucking hay since they could drag bales to the conveyer belt to the loft it was fun then now I think they like showing the boys how hard it really is we put up around 2000 alfalfa 2000 grass and 4000 to 5000 straw depending on how many we already have orders for and the 1500 that go in the big barn for our personal use and we try to predict winter sales
That's awesome; if it works it works. Man I miss my Granpa and his small acreage farm.... And the big farm out where we all learned how to drive the best smelling old farm truck: diesel and dirt lol. I could stand on the pedals and not see over the hood. I crashed the first time I was called out with out an older anybody with me. The damn dogs that always made me laugh while they played chicken with Granpa - but because I couldn't see them I got scared I'd hit them and cranked the wheel.... Edge, Ditch, and Fence..... They called over the radio laughing and asking about Mario ?????? I was crying, the younger cousin with me was rubbing his head that bounced off the bare metal roof atleast twice. His name was not Mario.... So I started crying more so confused...... I think I was 8 or 9. Cousin was 5 or so. Best Uncle came and pulled the truck out and grabbed all the sandwhiches we were delivering to the drivers..... He said he'd deliver; but I still had to drive back to the farm house.... And he explained that Mario was Mario Andretti and it was a joke because they were watching the dust trail I was making and they could see I was driving way too fast so they went to the Equipment Channel and discussed if we'd crash..... They decided I probably wouldn't roll it and there wasn't much to hit and that crashing was a rite of passage. Crazy ass farm folk man I fucking miss it. Woah. I apologize..... Your comment took me back; way back and I got caught up and wrote a bunch of stuff..... That's not cool of me..... But so cool that your writing could take me back..... Standing on the back of the garden tractors and being amazed that while dropping hay the hay truck would idle along and someone only got in to make the turns.... And we all threw rocks at absolutely everything. Then we made sling shots and then later got real ones...... I miss throwing rocks into water. My brother threw a rock at a hanging bees nest.... that sucked.... Not as much as when we were all walking in the middle of the two irrigation ditches and hanging unto the fence down the middle of the hump and walking sideways shuffling feet and getting to the big willow tree..... And I stepped on a nest.... Holy Macaroni.... I was so young that it didn't occur to me to just turn and step into the ditch and out the other side to run away.....i shuffled the last bit while getting attacked. There were wasps in my hair and Granma cut my hair to get them out - it was so ugly; but I was so happy they weren't trapped like a halo from he'll around my head. Damn, I apologize for rambling and ? continue rambling ? I'm gonna go smoke and leave this book be. Thanks for the memory flashbacks. That was awesome. And I miss the smell of burning irrigation ditches.
@@davidwoermansr Yes, if the weather was right and the hunidity low, working till dark, then eating dinner in the field, maybe even sleeping under the trailer to get an early start. As there were alot of girls involved with the horses we were making hay for..........Ah, my mispent youth 😁
@@51WCDodge the only time the girls came to the field around my area was bringing meals except 1 farmer only had girls but they drove the tractors and dad was on the wagon my girls grew up in the shop and fields with me competing with their brothers my youngest 4 (adopted but mine) are the same way but I don't know how to do girly things and I'm raising them on my own to so doing farm work or pulling parts in the salvage yard learning to turn wrenches is the cheapest and only daycare I trust
I mentioned that Casey needs to fix the RV so Riley can get warm showers .. HIs response //// Tell Big Country RV to quit being such a nightmare to deal with and maybe it will work one day //// I'm nowhere near Big Country RV but I am sure that some of Casey's .1Million subscribers can do something ... please help Riley get warm showers !!!!
Mega-hay warehouses! Who woulda thunk it? Sure, let's see the newest hay-handling equipment. Thank you for showing, what is for many, inaccessible places to us. I'm always fascinated by industrial operations, how things are made, unique pieces of equipment designed for specific jobs. I've worked in industry most of my life, and it still never ceases to fascinate me.
I grew up with a retort whenever anyone would say, "Hey!" to me. "Hay's for horses, straw's cheaper, grass is free. What do you want?" Yeah, it's juvenile, but I was a juvenile at the time, so . . . . . . . what the hey? LOL
I was 6 years old loading hay by hand on my dad’s 50s F1 pickup truck on our old farm in VA. Now I’m living in the Willamette valley and I see these monster haymows everywhere. So I totally love to see this futuristic hay system being used.
Military air drops hay all the time. I’ve even been a part of military hay haul operations in the National Guard in Oklahoma where we trucked it in from Missouri and Kansas
Easy, get a C130 and drop bundles of hay with parachutes just like the military does with vehicles. BTW, the military has done this with hay too during bad winters out west.
I grew up on a farm in Montana. Our bales were not as large as yours. My Dad would cut and bale the hay. A few days later his friend would pull the tractor and my Dad would throw the bales onto the wagon and I would organize them. However, my Dad would often throw the pales in perfect place and I didn’t have to do anything with those bales. It was a hard job that got harder as I got older, but I loved it.
Lightning ( and rain too, of course) are obviously no good for freshly " put up" crop. I speak from experience. Back in 1975 between my freshman and sophomore year , we had (on our farm) just baled and stacked 1000 plus acres of alfalfa/oat cutting ( in Gilbert, Az) what we call a pyramidal ( the type of stack) and covered. This stack was nearly a half a mile long and 27' (feet tall) and nearly 50 feet in width AND it was covered. We had a thunderstorm that night. ONE 300 million volt Lightning strike burned it- a total loss, thankfully it was insured. It burned for 3 days. Here in the Salt River Valley we would yield nearly 9/10 cuttings spring through fall. That farm is now all houses. And yes Farmer is my last name too. Great video. Thanks for posting these "different" types of videos. I think its a great thing to bring awareness to your subscribers. It's always interesting to see how others in the agricultural industry do it, in their particular area. The innovation and technology has evolved 10 fold since my time in the industry. New technologies are and have changed how it's done. Some of the newest technology would blow peoples minds ! We just sold our last remaining farm a year ago here in Chandler (Az.)
WOW when much needed rain comes at the least ideal time! Partially jealous there was actual rain and thunder and lighting. Most definitely interested seeing the fancy new equipment Casey! Keep these rad videos coming.
Please do! I can’t imagine anyone that’s watched this video to the end not wanting to see the state of the art equipment we were bated about. This is fascinating!
Our drivers which get paid by the miles would have a fit the way you unload and then place the hay in storage. Here truck comes in everyone drops what they are doing and drops the load off the trailer right there. After the truck leaves then we work on putting the load away.
I agree and I work in the city! I know my job isn't as exciting as farming, but it pays well and I kind of like it. I live in a farming community and my boss has a small farm here, but he does double duty like in the old days. He would rather be on the farm than in the office. The fresh mowed air early in the morning is the best!
Besides it being very kind of you to help out your friends, it's really interesting to get to see different kinds of work that otherwise stay out of sight for so many of us city dwellers! Thank you for sharing and please do keep them coming!
Farming has become a very misunderstood lifestyle it's a job under 3% of Americans do but has 1 of the highest suicide rates due to depression and the stress of the weather and markets being in control of your income
@@davidwoermansr It also doesn't help when large non farm businesses keep buying up the smaller farms and ranches, then operating at a level that local farmers can't compete with and force families who've been farming for generations to sell or go bankrupt.
@@coachwendy5618 I don't force anyone to sell people I rent from have offered me the land yeah I'll buy it small farmers in their 70s and 80s that can't farm and none of their family wants to farm yup I'll buy it or my kids will the only small farms I buy are the ones offered to me I don't go bid on small acreage but if they come to me with a price that's reasonable I'll take it especially if I already own bordering property I've even bought a farm for more than it was offered to me for because the guys been my neighbor and customer to my kids shops and his offer was 1000 an acre under market price for the area so I gave him market value he was going by tax appraisal value and if I buy the whole property I'll let them live in the house till the family makes the decision they can't anymore no rent no tax payment just utilities and food I'm not a dick to my neighbors customers and friends so don't say all big farms do that it's hard to make a profit with thousands of acres and newer equipment I think small farms with old equipment are doing it because it's all they've done the last 325 acres I bought the guy told me his wife made more working laundry part time at the nursing home the past 10 years than the farm made so small farms need something special to market to make money or IDK the markets just aren't in favor of small farms it's not big farms being billy's I started with 400 acres and renting cropland and pasture now me and the kids are a big farm in 3 counties and rent in 4 most the locals come to the kids for repairs because we don't charge like other shops do I have a salvage yard we've been known to rebuild a tractor or weld up broken equipment for some junk cluttering up their pastures or backyards we like our older neighbors and don't want to break them so they can do what they were born doing and love
@@davidwoermansr I don't think you're a large company like Monsanto. I wasn't referring to farmers and ranchers who are actually involved in the business. I've had older farmer friends who farmed until they physically couldn't. And you're correct in saying that they either don't have children to inherit the farm or don't want it. I'm referring to people like Bill Gates who just want power and riches. I hope you are one of the good ones from the way you described your business and I appreciate it. Thanks for looking out for the others.
@@coachwendy5618 you'd be surprised what you learn if you research Monsanto how much they really contribute instead of the ridiculous lawsuits nobody in my area has got any bad affects from roundup so I don't understand how a high school groundskeeper could get cancer using less than a gallon in 2 years that was the first suit and it was cheaper to settle than years of court and the doors opened BTW Bayer owns Monsanto,now so might want to boycott all they own too but again it'll surprise you what you go without if you think those companies are evil and harmful they've turned low production ground into high yielding crop ground and they've never forced anyone out they can just out bid anyone else interested in the farm for sale I'd sell all my land except where our houses and shops are too if they offered me 5 to 10 times the value and I'd just rent land or retire and play in my shop all day
I would really like to see a video about that awesome forklift truck thing. What powers it? Does it use the same transmission while road driving and forklifting? That kind of thing
What is the difference between straw and hay? Image result for straw Hay is a crop that is grown and harvested as a feed crop for cattle, horses and other farm animals. Straw on the other hand is a byproduct of a grain crop; in our area it's usually usually wheat straw that we see.Jun 17, 2019
The farm I worked for in the valley is a 40 million dollar a year company. They didn’t have equipment that nice. I would drive for him in a minute if I were still in the valley.
I live just in between Lebanon and Albany and I remember that storm. I really did your videos I like how you show Oregon. What's cool is in this video you're by the straw palace which is 10 minutes from my house.
It would be interesting to see more Americans working too instead of mooching. I like these videos that show more Americans doing a productive job than the news flashes of people being shot because they're drug dealers and the media won't admit they're scum. That's why I prefer watching misspoken videos by Casey and other UA-camrs who show us what most Americans are actually doing instead of just a small group who aren't productive.
Of course we want to see what he has as a new Arsenal in his business that would be awesome love what you're doing Casey, sharing your friends and what they do in livingThank you for sharing
You know if we're watching Pig Rescue and Wild West RV rescues with Grumpy Cam (which I love) we certainly are going to hang tight for Casey Cam educating us on new hay handling equipment! Now for the serious aspect of this comment are you still going to have to have the surgery on your hernia? Sometimes I think it healed itself because you take such excellent care of yourself! Then other times not so much 😵💫! Be careful and keep the camera rolling!
@@CaseyLaDelle best wishes for sure! From my experience almost 63 years old now I did better with the surgery when I was younger than when I got older!
You should see if you can check out Steffens Hay. They are near Salem and they manufacture much larger hay presses. They have sent hay presses all over the world.
Now I know what makes it rain. Washing your car 🚙 in the city and bailing hay in the country. Good to know. Washed my car a couple of weeks ago and yup it rained
Its even more difficult when you take the extra time to cut it down to smaller bales to ship overseas while also selling big bales across North America that's a year round commitment
@@jerrygeerdes6951 yeah those barns don't stay full long by the time the last is full it's time to start over with the first I've been to an operation like this in TX and it's non stop my uncle hauls containers for the 1 in TX to Cali to be loaded on ships
They delivered hay by DC-3's in eastern Wyoming and the Blackhills of South Dakota during the 1949 blizzard period. Many times they ended up with cow pancakes.
Yes, I say “hay” when it’s technically straw. It’s the same as someone calling every skid steer a Bobcat, or ever telehandler a Gradall. It’s not really that big of a deal, no need to email me about it…
😂👍🏻
Not here to argue just to add to the discussion, I slightly disagree with your characterization of straw, I was under the impression that straw is the leftover stalks of grains normally baled and used for animal bedding not normally of much nutritional value, whereas hay is grasses, and other plants grown specifically for animal food. That being said, I believe you said this product is going to Asia for animal food... no?
I would like to see the new equipment sir and I love the content keep it up buddy
Hay is food. Straw is bedding. The two have completely different growing and processing requirements with straw being much much simpler. Hay has nutritional, palatablity, and moisture range requirements. Hay is a primary product while straw is a byproduct after the primary grain product has been removed.

@@steveb855 correct, until the part where this straw is for the specific purpose of animal feed..

You got to take the family on another adventure !!!!
Tell Big Country RV to quit being such a nightmare to deal with and maybe it will work one day 🤷🏻♂️
The straw palace is right down the road from us. I remember when it was built.
Making hay is easy done it my whole life but haven mother nature on your side is damn near impossible!! The rain and believe it or not here in eastern Washington it gets to hot and won't dry out. That small mismatch binder means it's a working truck lol

Bring it on Casey

Use the plains that drop watter on fire to drop the bales LOL
Free shipping World Wide--except---love it and the shirt is great-- the squeeze looks like a KW
Of course we want to see it
Flying a C130 to fly-in and drop hay. More please!
The merch ad was AMAZING! The editor was on it!

A bad day on the farm is better than any day in the city!
🤠 ✌️
Facts!
I agree and I work in the city! I know my job isn't as exciting as farming, but it pays well and I kind of like it. I live in a farming community and my boss has a small farm here, but he does double duty like in the old days. He would rather be on the farm than in the office. The fresh mowed air early in the morning is the best!
Besides it being very kind of you to help out your friends, it's really interesting to get to see different kinds of work that otherwise stay out of sight for so many of us city dwellers!
Thank you for sharing and please do keep them coming!
Farming has become a very misunderstood lifestyle it's a job under 3% of Americans do but has 1 of the highest suicide rates due to depression and the stress of the weather and markets being in control of your income
@@davidwoermansr It also doesn't help when large non farm businesses keep buying up the smaller farms and ranches, then operating at a level that local farmers can't compete with and force families who've been farming for generations to sell or go bankrupt.
@@coachwendy5618 I don't force anyone to sell people I rent from have offered me the land yeah I'll buy it small farmers in their 70s and 80s that can't farm and none of their family wants to farm yup I'll buy it or my kids will the only small farms I buy are the ones offered to me I don't go bid on small acreage but if they come to me with a price that's reasonable I'll take it especially if I already own bordering property I've even bought a farm for more than it was offered to me for because the guys been my neighbor and customer to my kids shops and his offer was 1000 an acre under market price for the area so I gave him market value he was going by tax appraisal value and if I buy the whole property I'll let them live in the house till the family makes the decision they can't anymore no rent no tax payment just utilities and food I'm not a dick to my neighbors customers and friends so don't say all big farms do that it's hard to make a profit with thousands of acres and newer equipment I think small farms with old equipment are doing it because it's all they've done the last 325 acres I bought the guy told me his wife made more working laundry part time at the nursing home the past 10 years than the farm made so small farms need something special to market to make money or IDK the markets just aren't in favor of small farms it's not big farms being billy's I started with 400 acres and renting cropland and pasture now me and the kids are a big farm in 3 counties and rent in 4 most the locals come to the kids for repairs because we don't charge like other shops do I have a salvage yard we've been known to rebuild a tractor or weld up broken equipment for some junk cluttering up their pastures or backyards we like our older neighbors and don't want to break them so they can do what they were born doing and love
@@davidwoermansr I don't think you're a large company like Monsanto. I wasn't referring to farmers and ranchers who are actually involved in the business. I've had older farmer friends who farmed until they physically couldn't. And you're correct in saying that they either don't have children to inherit the farm or don't want it. I'm referring to people like Bill Gates who just want power and riches. I hope you are one of the good ones from the way you described your business and I appreciate it. Thanks for looking out for the others.
@@coachwendy5618 you'd be surprised what you learn if you research Monsanto how much they really contribute instead of the ridiculous lawsuits nobody in my area has got any bad affects from roundup so I don't understand how a high school groundskeeper could get cancer using less than a gallon in 2 years that was the first suit and it was cheaper to settle than years of court and the doors opened BTW Bayer owns Monsanto,now so might want to boycott all they own too but again it'll surprise you what you go without if you think those companies are evil and harmful they've turned low production ground into high yielding crop ground and they've never forced anyone out they can just out bid anyone else interested in the farm for sale I'd sell all my land except where our houses and shops are too if they offered me 5 to 10 times the value and I'd just rent land or retire and play in my shop all day
You say you're going to come back down and help again. What did you do this time, besides look pretty?
I’m just the eye candy. I never actually do anything
For sure, lets see the new equipment
Right on I'm down for more of this he ha kind of hey, straw show down 🤪🤪🤪🤪 but I also miss Big Red 🛻
Of course we want to see "IT". Good video, as always.
If you have to replace the hot water heater I suggest looking into a tankless HW heater. I put one in my RV and am so glad I did.
COOL VIDEO & SURE WE WANT TO SEE IT !!! 👍👍👍
New equipment 👍🏻
Mother nature reminds us she's in charge.
Yes I do want to see it.
I would really like to see a video about that awesome forklift truck thing. What powers it? Does it use the same transmission while road driving and forklifting? That kind of thing
What is the difference between straw and hay?
Image result for straw
Hay is a crop that is grown and harvested as a feed crop for cattle, horses and other farm animals. Straw on the other hand is a byproduct of a grain crop; in our area it's usually usually wheat straw that we see.Jun 17, 2019
Saw this video on a little news clip.
The farm I worked for in the valley is a 40 million dollar a year company. They didn’t have equipment that nice. I would drive for him in a minute if I were still in the valley.
I would love to see it
I live just in between Lebanon and Albany and I remember that storm. I really did your videos I like how you show Oregon. What's cool is in this video you're by the straw palace which is 10 minutes from my house.
Is that you Ralph? Drove by the Straw Palace today, took a church youth group tubing on Foster Lake.
Ron Berry it is me
very cool to see other business owners and how they run their companies and deal with the labor shortage. It's interesting to see how America works
It would be interesting to see more Americans working too instead of mooching. I like these videos that show more Americans doing a productive job than the news flashes of people being shot because they're drug dealers and the media won't admit they're scum. That's why I prefer watching misspoken videos by Casey and other UA-camrs who show us what most Americans are actually doing instead of just a small group who aren't productive.
Casey you could get a lot of hay in a C-5 Galaxy 😂😂😂👍
Of course we want to see what he has as a new Arsenal in his business that would be awesome love what you're doing Casey, sharing your friends and what they do in livingThank you for sharing
Of course we wanna see
Yes, please.
New straw gear please!!
Thanks for sharing
I always wanna see new fancy equipment! Can’t wait!!
Info on NEW TECHNOLOGY is always great!
Thanks for sharing 👍.
You know if we're watching Pig Rescue and Wild West RV rescues with Grumpy Cam (which I love) we certainly are going to hang tight for Casey Cam educating us on new hay handling equipment!
Now for the serious aspect of this comment are you still going to have to have the surgery on your hernia? Sometimes I think it healed itself because you take such excellent care of yourself! Then other times not so much 😵💫!
Be careful and keep the camera rolling!
I’m just avoiding it as long as possible
@@CaseyLaDelle best wishes for sure! From my experience almost 63 years old now I did better with the surgery when I was younger than when I got older!
You should see if you can check out Steffens Hay. They are near Salem and they manufacture much larger hay presses. They have sent hay presses all over the world.
Nice to see a farmer making a great business.
Heck ya show the new toys!
Yes, of course we took the bleep bait! We DO want to see that new equipment!
Now I know what makes it rain. Washing your car 🚙 in the city and bailing hay in the country. Good to know. Washed my car a couple of weeks ago and yup it rained
Haying is a difficult process. Blessing Jesse and his team. Please let us see the new equipment. Have a Wonderful Day.
Its even more difficult when you take the extra time to cut it down to smaller bales to ship overseas while also selling big bales across North America that's a year round commitment
@@davidwoermansr Quite a commitment! He says they run the compactor 24/7!
@@jerrygeerdes6951 yeah those barns don't stay full long by the time the last is full it's time to start over with the first I've been to an operation like this in TX and it's non stop my uncle hauls containers for the 1 in TX to Cali to be loaded on ships
They delivered hay by DC-3's in eastern Wyoming and the Blackhills of South Dakota during the 1949 blizzard period. Many times they ended up with cow pancakes.
Yes please very much like the content Thanks 👍
new toys - hell yes
Yes I want see his new equipment!!!
