Good evening Ed. I got started on the last of first crop today. 10 ac down and 20 ish to go. I ran outta courage and stayed on the high ground , I was in standing water when I made the swipe along the lane😳
I always watch the tires but tonight that didn't work I was across the road where it isn't so wet and went too far in , tires were dry... dry ... oh 💩 left hand turn🤣
Saphie and Ruby Lou and Blakey😍😍😍..... I' ve got to give Calf Whisper and Becky a 😍😍😍 too.... I'm a roll a bar rake guy too.....Wheel rakes have their place but not here.... I was a good day here, lots got done... Sure hope that baler works good for you🤞🤞🤞. Thanks Ed, have a great Thursday.
@@brenterickson1695 all of them!! 👍😎☺️ Busted rake teeth through a baler... We've chipped a knife with rollabar teeth.. years ago, we had a 2 wheel rake we used to fluff wet clover windrows. Busted tooth tore the 💩 out of the rubber concave and broke a rasp bar in the combine, before busting up a couple of straw walkers.. Good to hear you had a good day farming!! Still gotta figure out how to set bale tension.. and praying nothing goes sideways!!! Thank you Brent! Have a great Thursday!
Looks like pretty good tonnage even through the top is dry. You’re after feed not custom hay sales so I’d call it ideal hay. Ideal hay is hay you get baled.😊. Love your bar rake. Hard to find here and too expensive new.
@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn hopefully better tonnage than last year.. we will see.. It's funny how New Holland equipment is all made at your end of the country, yet V rakes and stackers are all here.. New ones are definitely too expensive!!
Hey Ed, suprised you don't have more smoke with the fires around you. Been smoky here for about 2 weeks and the fires are 2 provinces away! Looks like a decent hay crop you have despite what looks like a drought. 👍
@@3dranchmanitoba good morning ☕☕☕ They're about 200 miles away from us. And the wind takes the smoke your direction. I had hopes of a normal yield this year, but with no rain since the first week of June.. and not much in May. It's probably about 1/2 to 3/4 of normal.. better than the last few years. You'd be amazed at the difference in yield from different areas.
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin you talk about pulling tansy, I take it it's a noxious weed just like us spraying for leafy spurge?? You grow much alfalfa, wondering what kind of grass you are cutting?
@@3dranchmanitoba Yes. Very toxic/noxious. The state has laws about controlling it. None of which have been enforced in the past 30+ years.. we have always sprayed for it, had it down to maybe a dozen plants a year, across the 20 miles we used to farm. Now the state and county raise it.. along with all the citiots that have moved in..
@@3dranchmanitoba we used to grow a little bit of alfalfa.. not really regular, as it likes irrigation and gophers love it. I'd like to plant some again
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I can imagine especially with the cidiots. We have a weed supervisor here but they have a huge area to cover. We try our best to get most of the patches every year but it's almost impossible to eradicate.
@@paulcasefarms9933 some is almost as heavy as normal, but most is only about half of normal.. year #6 of summer drought... sucks!! And we are a month or more, late. Been working on the new to us big baler.. it's working fine, now it's tractor fuel issues.. always something 🙄 Cows will eat thistle, our big issue is tansey.. we spray for it, but when the citiots all around us, think it's pretty and let it grow... We've got it. Thank you Paul!!
Good evening Ed. That hay you are cutting looks quite yellow. Is it that ripe or maybe the camera isn't bringing out the color? Looks like there is quite a bit of hay there. Have a good night my friend
@@piperdoug428 go back to a normal summer, we aren't too late.. 2 to 3 weeks.. but this summer drought 🐂💩, everything matured early. And was probably dry enough to think about it the beginning of June..
So you had mentioned none of that Hay is going to be for sale just because of the maturity? I have no choice I wouldn’t have anything to sell. I didn’t sell this overmature stuff. I’m bailing now that’s just the fact of it must be in your area. They have other ways to truck in less mature Hay.? so does that mean you’re not gonna have any Hay income the whole season?
@@michiganhay7844 I was hoping we would have enough to be able to sell hay again. At this point, quite a bit that I was counting on, is literally nothing. Another issue is tansey, I saw a few days ago, what was a nice field that's next to a horse stable (incidentally, they're the worst for raising tansey) It's all tansey.. Way too much to pull.. We've been living off the cows for a few years now..
Excited to see the new baler in action. Half an inch of rain today, another inch tomorrow. Be the weekend before we start haying again I guess. Worked on the Massey self propelled haybine today and replaced some leaky hoses and flushed the rads clean. Should be ready to go again.
