It’s not been much fun this week it’s not just good enough weather wise
I baled some haylage. Looked about hay in the swath. The bales told a different story. Heavy as hell.
They take the consequences then .
The onus must be on the customer. What happens if a contractor who pushes to bale a day early than customer wants and then shed burned down. Difficult situation
That’s a bit of a dodgy situation imo. When does it become his hay? Who gets left with a pile of shite of that happens?
Far too much hay is baled before its ready imo
More gets wet .
There is when my father is about
If alot of rain is forecast and its not quite ready its better to wrap than bale too early, but alot gets baled too early even in settled weather
I would bale if its , at all fit , next 10 days looking very dodgy with storms , once wet will take some drying
I hate working for good lifers who don't understand the risks and pitfalls in the haymaking job.
Biggest cut ever here, with my 14 acres yielding 198 4 string squares. Last yrs first cut was 166 bales of wetter stuff.
