    I WAS raised on a farm. Just to help, i recommend placing the hay bales on a concrete surface that can drain well and stack them up. Dry is good. So if you can place them on a concrete slab under a roof...that is ideal! Water is the enemy. When you think about it, hay is just dying to be compost. I can remember as a kid pulling bales from the barn in Iowa in the spring...they were as fresh as the day they were baled because of dry, protected conditions. It is critical that when you prepare the hay before baling that it is crushed and dried before baling, otherwise all the work you do to store it will be wasted. Choosing the moment to bale after cutting hay is very important. If needed run the rake and turn the windrows over to dry. Wet hay will rot, no matter how well you store it later. Also you are feeding in a much too wet area. Feed at the top of a hill. If you see pooled water then your feeding area is not a good one and is too low or has poor drainage. Dry is good, that is always the best plan. Just trying to help. I have learned from past mistakes.

    • @erich4647
      @erich4647 4 роки тому +9

      @Lassi Kinnunen Some people wrap them, but with the added cost and waste of the plastic you need to weight the benefits for your situation. If you can store them under a roof then plastic is a waste of money. If long term storage is needed in a totally unprotected location then the plastic wrap is completely worth it. We have even had excellent results covering the groups of bales with a tarp and putting old tires on top to weigh it down. It all depends on the loss rate that you have for each bale. If your location and storage area you must use is destroying your hay, then wrap is the method of choice.

    • @xon2013
      @xon2013 4 роки тому +6

      Not to mention the feeding area looks muddy that could be potentially harmful to your cows slipping and sliding. At the top of a hill is a good idea

    • @hazgebu
      @hazgebu 4 роки тому +7

      Yeah that's what I thought. That old hay is rotten.
      Maybe it's not that harmful for cows but if you feed horses hay of that quality than they have a very high chance of a colic.
      Any water protection for the hay will be worth it!

    Storage hint for bales: Go to the local tire dealer and get junk semi tires to rest them on. You will still get a donut ring of rot versus the saturation of ground contact. The cattle will thank you and you will save precious hay. Subscribed for quite awhile now and its time to start saving YOU money. Excellent videos!

    Absolutely loved this video, I think you should do more like this, I am a cattle farmer in Canada, we still own a 5000 ford, it's one of the toughest tractors I have ever seen. Also years ago we owned a JD 530, its the same as a 535 but without the doul tie and bale kicker option. It was a very reliable bailer. I own about 70 cows/ calves one thing I just wanted to let you know is when stacking bales, I butt them up against the others on the flat sides of the bale but leave at least a gap of 6 inches from bale to bale on the string sides of the bales. By doing this when it rains the water can run off the bale instead of soaking into the bale and creating extra waist. Love what you bring to you tube, keep up the great work!!

Round bales are made to be stored outside just fine, bit they will mold from the bottom if they're on the ground. I know it's a pain but I get large pallets, anything free, and set the bales on them to keep them from getting wet on the bottom.

      Yeah. That looks heavily affected by mold. Keeping it from the ground is essential, but can be additionally improved if you can store them in a way that keeps them protected also from rain. Some sort of simple roof is what you want, something that allows ventilation and not just a tarp which may actually benefit mold spores from growing in the humid hay.

      I've run everything except used motor oil as bar oil. Vegetable oil, clean/new motor oil, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, even actual bar oil on occasion. Haven't noticed a difference with any of them. Current saw and bar has ~40 cords of wood on it, still good for a long time.
      My preference is vegetable oil for environmental and health reasons, but it sure makes a mess if you let it sit for more than a week or so. If you run vegetable oil, run dino oil for your last tank and clean off your saw and bar immediately after use. Pull off ALL the covers, scrub with solvent, blow off with compressed air, before you put it up for the season.

    "Project Farm" always led me to believe, that there was more to Todd than YT videos.
    I must admit though, that seeing upwards of 1 1/4 million subscribers, I figured your income would be VERY comfortable through Patreon support and that farming would rather be the hobby. 🤷
    Thanks for clearing that up for the audience here - for my part your channel is actually the only one I support via Patreon, as your content is ALWAYS relevant.👍
    ...and perhaps others would see it the same way and do likewise... 😉👍

    I live in a rural area with a lot of surrounding farms. While driving down our 2 lane roads into the "big city", I always pass by fields with all sorts of weird looking machinery parked on the side... now I know what a hay raker looks like and how it works. So one mystery machine solved...
    Thanks you for your always informative and enjoyable videos!!

      This is hard work, and he has the worst taskmaster, Mother Nature.
      I simply love this and think he should create a new channel. IO want to learn a LOT more about the process from beginning to end, and I mean more, even the smallest things. While you're at let's have a little more about your self.
      There are "makers" and there are "doers" you're both and for you to now show the most underappreciated workers around the every day humble food producers.
      Thanks, this is a great idea. One of the most dangerious professions around.

      Not anyone, not even close. Most people aren't cut out for farm life especially for the work part. In our area there's always acreages or hobby farms for sale by folks from the city who thought it would be fun but learned to hate the work. Just keeping the grass down around the yard requires time. You have to keep on top of all the little jobs that need to be done plus be flexible because of weather and/or finances.

    This is by far the best resource on how to bale hay online. I spent days last year trying to understand the process. I could have bothered a farmer in my area but they use much older equipment anyway, and you use equipment more similar to what I am used to. I'm glad to have been a fan of your reviews so that I could see this!
