  • Labor Day, what a wonderful day to work. Might as well sweat and fill someone else's barn. The whole point of delivery is not unloading at home, other than the truck, this hay had been waiting on the wagons as it was stacked in the field.

    When I hayed for my aunt the hayloft in the barn could hold a little over three thousand bails and another six thousand in the pole barn. All us nephews and nieces were really irritated when she switched to round bails ones we all grew up lol. She still has her hay elevator though that thing was a godsend lol

    I saw the basketball hoop in the barn, we had one to probably along with almost every farm with growing children on it. Also we would hand stack in the barn all the way to the peak, a great place to work on a hot day especially if you had put some hay in the day before which was giving off a little heat if it was bailed a little tough. Great memories.

    Awesome video Jacob, for a sitting room farmer that watch only farming video's it strange to see that 99% folks makes hay but everybody still need and buy hay, I don't get it, what is the reality about his.

    • @lukestrawwalker
      @lukestrawwalker 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's plenty of people with a few head of livestock of various types, or with horses or whatever, that need hay, but don't have enough to justify owning a baler, rake, mower, tractor, etc... Nor do they have the know-how to put up good hay. Making hay isn't just cutting grass, raking it up, and "putting string around it"-- there's definitely an art and a science to it. There's probably a lot more people baling hay for their own livestock, or to sell, or some combination thereof, than you might otherwise think. Older hay equipment isn't terribly expensive, compared to other machinery like combines or bigger tractors or some tillage implements, planters, etc. Plus you really only need a mower, rake, and baler and a tractor capable of operating them to put up hay... so it's a lot easier business to get into than say grain farming or other crops where you need a lot more, and bigger, machinery that costs more to buy, repair and maintain. The problem is, older hay machinery definitely has its challenges to fix, maintain, adjust, and operate, and keep it running. Definitely takes some work and know-how. SO it's just easier and more cost-effective for people with just a few head of livestock to buy hay from an experienced haymaker with the equipment and know-how to use it. I know in our area, we have a lot of guys retire from their job and decide they're gonna "get rich" baling hay, because they've been buying hay for 25-30 years for their horses or other livestock, and figure "it's just grass" and that it's cheap and easy to do. They usually only last a few years, after spending WAY too much money on new (or nearly new) haying equipment, and simply can't make it pencil out, and it IS HARD WORK! Stuff breaks down, needs repaired and maintained, and of course operated and adjusted... not just "hook up and drive" like so many people think.
      There's a certain amount of "debate" over whether folks should just buy all their hay below a certain number of head of livestock, or number of bales, or if they're better off baling it themselves. That's not a cut-n-dried question, because "it depends". Some people have the skillset and ability and can get decent equipment and keep it fixed and running, or the money to spend on newer machinery, have land that can be set aside or used as a hay meadow, etc. and so it makes sense for them to bale their own hay, despite what a lot of "experts" say. I've read various forms of this discussion, with people saying if you bale less than 200-500 or even more round bales a year, you SHOULDN'T own a round baler (I'll speak of rounds because that's where my expertise lies). Now, we fall into that category, because I haven't done custom baling (where you cut, rake, and bale someone else's hay meadow or pasture, either for a set price per bale, or for a share of the crop, usually half at a minimum to 3/4 on the high end) in many years, but we bale hay for our own cow/calf operation. We only need hay to get us through the winter (and try to carry some over in case of dry weather, so we can feed awhile if the grass is short to give us some flexibility (and hopefully we get rain before we run out). So we don't bale a HUGE amount of hay, BUT as a cow/calf operator, if I had to BUY all that hay, there's NO WAY I could actually be profitable raising calves. The cost of hay would simply eat up all the profits. So for us there's basically NO CHOICE but to bale our own hay, or get out of the cattle business. A lot of the big custom operators, who buy big cab tractors with A/C, and buy big NEW shiny mowers, rakes, and balers, and have a big shiny new $90,000 diesel dually sitting in the yard to pay for, will grind their teeth at "the little guy" or "the livestock guy" baling his own hay, and they'll argue that basically pretty much NOBODY with an operation much smaller than theirs should bale hay... because they don't like the competition-- they want EVERYBODY ELSE to have to hire them to custom bale their land, or buy the hay from them, to pay for all their shiny new toys. There's not enough money kicking around in agriculture to pay his prices to pay for that sort of thing; at some point you're money ahead to buy some kind of machinery YOURSELF and make the hay. BUT for guys with just a couple calves their fattening up to put in the freezer, or a few horses for leisure, IOW HOBBY type stuff, where money tends to be no object anyway, well it simply is a lot easier and more fun to just let some other guy deal with keeping the machinery fixed and running and just buy the hay from him or have it custom baled, and get part of the crop and let him have the rest for his labor.

The good thing is they don't care unless you cause an accident, then you could lose the farm. County roads can have different laws than state highways. Just please check on it.
