Third Cut Hay 2019 (THE LAST CUT.): Vlog 159
Рет қаралды 297,372
5 жыл бұрынTHIRD CUT HAY 2019.
Our last cut of hay for 2019.
This video was supposed to be maybe 2 days long… But as we all know, Mother Nature has her own agenda, and she never shares the changes with us.
We cut hay last Friday in hopes of a weekend rendezvous of harvest. But what we got was 3 days of much needed rain, but it put hay harvest on hold.
In the meantime, work still needs done.
Mark spread manure, I hoof trimmed ewes due to lamb next month, and shipped some lambs to be sold at a local store I work with.
But always, in the back of my mind, I’m at unrest when hay is cut and laying for days in the fields.
By Monday, we were back at it.
We tedded the hay back over the field to shake out the excess moisture, and Tuesday we raked it back up and finally got to harvesting.
#thirdcuthay #hay2019 #sheep
Enjoy the ride!
Hey…can you guys do me a favour??
Do you like this longer “Day in the Life” style Vlog or shorter, more tutorial style videos? Or do you like a mix of both?

We had some nice black faced sheep (no idea what breed). One ewe had twins and she ignored one. SO my sister & mom bottle fed the beauty. That long legged critter was downstairs in our basement where my bedroom was. Eventually I would be RUDELY awakened by the cute lamb bellering inches from my face!

I'm so jealous of the perfectly flat, no rock fields you have. I see lots of old equipment that doesn't see much abuse. I hit rocks with my disc mowers all the time, even tiny ones that are hard to see. My hay fields are a little larger, at 700-800 acres each x 5 fields, I can never remember exactly where the rocks are, just the vicinity. I hit them every year. I just got a brand new Pottinger triple mower in April of this year and wouldn't you know it, I've hit about 12 rocks this season. I bite my tongue each time. Really, really pretty fields you have there!
@SandiBrock 5 жыл бұрын
800 acre fields??? OMG. Mark's dream... As for stones, we seem to be able to grow those really well also. LOL. We do our best when we plant to pick what we can, and roll after... but we all know after winter, they seem to be able to show themselves again. We've been lucky so far this year!

@@SandiBrock Yup, my farm is just under 12k acres…I’m a cattle and hay operation from Virginia. At one time I had the largest Angus ‘Lucy’ herd but I don’t know if that’s still the case. I raise registered breed stock cattle. For hay, I do about 600 acres in alfalfa and 3000 acres in orchard grass, timothy and fescue (endophyte free). I make round and lg squares for both myself and to sell. You guys have a much more impressive operation with cops, hay, cattle and sheep. It’s quite an operation you have and I love that the family is all involved! I don’t have the kind of rocks that can be easily picked. I have to first break them with a excavator and hammer. It’s been a lot of work getting my fields in shape. I’m also hilly in some places and some areas have so much rock, that land goes to complete waste.

They had a boat and we fished and swam in the lake. Winters were magical when I lived with them for three years before I joined the US Navy.

Making hay hasn’t been too terrible this year. We just finished 4th crop in Wisconsin. Couple hundred acres of ours gets rained on every crop. But not bad when we do 1800 acres. Lay the windrows out wider when cutting. Looks way to narrow.
@SandiBrock 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Luke! We kept this cut narrow as usually it dries out too fast for haylage... But definitely for dry hay it makes it better dropping wide.

@wifarmerhank3039 5 жыл бұрын
Someone may have already commented on this but we ran a 3950 John Deere chopper for years. Corn silage takes a lot less power to blow than hay does. When chopping corn my dad would put the big pull on the blower side. that would slow the blower down and save on power. In the summer for hay he would swap the pulleys around and put the little one on the blower side that would speed the blower up and help it throw better. My dad claimed that if had the little pulley on the blower side in corn it would blow the back out of the wagon (I don’t know if I believe that) My guess is you have it so the big pulley is on the blower.
