Looks a nice crop how many % when you bale it ?
Really depends on the dew. And the heat of the day. Aim for17% and under. By time I'm finishing it might be down to 11%. I use buffered proprionic acid so if it's a bit high when I start it puts acid on. Anything above 15% gets acid. Ps ...Also try to dry down to no stem moisture and bale with a dew
