[QUOTE="Devil's advocate, post: 7081972, member: 1504"] Thank you for replying Bramble. What kind of bale do you make & what is the market/use of the hay? Those woodern hay barns & loose hay really look the business. Many are commenting on cost, but it makes sense to me, especially with renewable power. Plastic use is going to be targeted in the years to come. Field drying is cheapest of course, but we all get caught out with unreliable forecasts & shaded parts of fields. It makes second cut a more realistic propsition too. Making round bale haylage is an expensive hobby in my area, many more people want to buy small bale hay of outstanding qualty. I dabble in the rabbit/gunia pig market but can't compete with the best, how do they get 40 kg in a bale solid as a brick of young fine green hay, that smells like a June hayfield in Febuary.
