pasture hay

[jodywy]

Not enough 4 legged harvesters this year.

Your pasture looks to be better ground to cover than our hay meadows.

That's average baling speed on our ground. A few stretches you can get to 5mph but they are too few and too short.

Any rocks?

My dry farm alfalfa on the hill sides there some cleat got hot sulpher spring over the hill, one alfalfa field had cleat, round river cobble and shale changes from one end to the other.
The places in the mouth of the canyons and the east side of the valley have rock; I got red clay on the hills, no rock in the meadows except those hauled in to cover culverts

Seems like all we do is bounce from one rock to another.

They do keep the ground warm though. :wink:

So Gcreek, you don't want to hear that we bale at 8 - 9 mph in 2nd cut? 5 -6 in first cut? 8) The biggest problem baling at that speed is getting stopped in time after the beeper goes for the net to kick in without wrapping hay under the first layer of net . . . I hate pulling net out from under a layer of hay. Or more :roll:

Oh yeah and we don't like hitting groundhog holes at that speed either. :evil:
