Hopefully you can enjoy hay-making a little more than you did planting. Both can be stressful, battling the weather, but the former gives results you can see sooner. Something special about making good hay I could never quite understand. Thanks, as always, for sharing everything with us, it is appreciated.

Tires and rims look great. I would be careful about running the hay crimper twice. If things are partially dry, it can shatter the stems and make it difficult to rake up the material. It's always nice to see you and your dad working together too.

The hay I’m worried about drying is almost 6 feet tall so it could stand to be chewed up a little. Lol

I understand your frustration with the deer situation and the government, . Yes they want to have a local DNR officer verify your issue. Otherwise it would be easy for someone to do a bunch of poaching. I own 40 acres of woods and grass land in another state, and spend a fair penny to travel there, buy an expensive non resident licence to bag a deer. My dad was a kid in the 1940's in central Minnesota, there were nearly no deer, because at one time there were no seasons or bag limits, and a bounty on hides.

My brother got some block permits the last couple years, had to call numerous times and annoy the crap out of them to get a call back from the proper guy that first year. Then they wanted name and addresses of the shooters, got 5 tags finally 😆. I guess it depends on the region a guys in because east of here the guy in charge just passes them out no questions asked, the guy in charge of are area wanted to come out and look at the damage but he'd never show up so he just kept bugging him and finally he sent him 5 tags. It's a total joke because they know full well this area is overrun with deer😆

Yep, had to make my first cut of 2024 today myself (now that the tornado weather has passed lol) it is already heading out which is 2 weeks early for here. If I don't get it down now, it won't be worth baling. Still got corn to get in FFS, if the fields would just dry up a bit & the rain would bugger off for just a week.. Yeah I went with wheel weights instead of calcium chloride after having to replace all the rims on my 184-4. Similar scenario as well, browned everything around the driveshed for about 7 years. Rotted the rims out from inside I guess so 5K later I became a wheel weight endorser. lol

Deer usually don't take it right down to the stem they just pick off one or two of the leaves and then it grows right back again every channel I watch I never seen people so afraid of losing a couple of beans or a grain of corn it's impossible to grow acres and acres and not have any loss figured in
@Oliver66FarmBoyАй бұрын
Shows what little you know. Then explain why it’s only been the last 2 years that I have seen any significant financial loss from it which also coincides with the massive increase in vehicle deer hits. Which both line up with the deer population exploding exponentially in the entire state because the predator population has decreased to much to keep the deer population managed. Which is why as of this year it is no longer legal to hunt coyote in the state of Michigan so they can try to restore some of that population. And from what the operator at the DNR office told me they are so inundated with block permit requests right now that they have a week backlog to get through before they will even be able to get to me so I’m not the only one having problems. Go back to your basement and do a little research before you try to sound smart again.

@natevanlandingham1945Ай бұрын
No it's permission from the state government. But it's there to ensure the population is not decimated. There is science and stuff involved and population Numbers. If every farmer killed every deer in an area the population would suffer which effects adjacent landowners and the residents of the state who hunt. The wildlife is seen as a common thing, no one owns it. If they were goats you kept on your land that were eating your beans then the state wouldn't care if you killed them. But these deer move across property lines. I see your point totally but you have to see the other side of it as well.
