The Alfalfa crop is deceiving this year. Driving by the field it looks short but when you take the time to untangle the vines they are about 5 feet long. The only other time I ever saw hay like this was last year. It must be running 4 to 5 ton to the acre but it's slow going cutting the tangled mess then my rake is built for light hay. I have plugged the opening at the back and high centered the baling tractor. Better then no hay but we aren't set up to handle these heavy crops. I baled 225 bales off of about 30 acres last night and this morning.
