  • WE ARE MAKING SHEEP FEED!!
    And this year, it's my mission to stay positive for hay season...
    So... after lots of sweet talking, I convinced Mark that we needed to do hay a better way. Meaning, lets get someone else to do it! LOL
    So, the only equipment we needed to work was our discbine.
    And... it blew up.
    Thankfully, we were able to borrow our friend's which worked amazing.
    This is part one of two for First Cut Hay 2020.
    ENJOY!

I think it's because somewhere in my blood that's where I'm a farmers daughter. Thanks you guys you make my day and you motivate me to do what ever it is I need to do.

    Uncle is cutting hay also. He sharpened the cutting blades because last fall he threw up a dinger (big stone) coming off hay meadow 1. There were a few choice words that were spewed. He will be turning today and hopefully bailing tomorrow. That is if he doesn't get rained on.

    You know the best weather forecast predictor is? Whenever my brother-in-law is about ready to plant/seed a crow or when his hay is "just" dry enough to almost start baling .... IT WILL RAIN! Heck, even the neighbor farmers ask him what his plans are and adjust what they will do accordingly.

    oh I miss the smell of fresh cut! and "bless you jess!"🤧 always started with equipment chaos to do hay and then the annoying frustration of stuff not working right during the process....it felt like a giant chore but it was so satisfying when it was all done and we would have a bbq party with everyone who helped....always the best party!

      Helen Hoge-croom I wondered if cut hay was that wonderful scent I used to smell, most of it makes me sneeze, but loved the scent...there’s an herb that smells like new mown hay 🙃 Sweet Woodruff. I used to grow it in Nashville home, but haven’t thought to look,for it since I moved back to Alabama. Think I shall.🙂

    Boy do I love that Drone footage mixed into the video's you all put out. It really gives a view of what is really happening on a wide overview of what the machine is performing on the crop. Close up of the workings inside and around the machine while running is very cool too. Sometimes you position the drone close to the harvester or combine or plow ect. and get a view as if we are standing on the back or side of the machine. Very cool. Thanks for all that extra work and editing it takes to include and shoot drone footage for your video's. Cheers from Michigan.

    Sandi I just want to say Thank You for making these videos. Which I go to my aunt's farm sometime and they have beef cattle. I never knew about the sheep stuff until watching your channel and plus the planting and this video. Which I do know how to plant food from my mom who grew up on the farm. I would think it would be wonderful growing up on the farm like both of my parent's did until they grew older and the families moved into town. They both live in a rural area in Minnesota. Thanks

  • @gthyfault
    @gthyfault Před 4 lety +2

    Thanks for sharing Sandi, Cutting and putting up Alfalfa is my favorite crop. I do have a suggestion, We put up 2000 acres alfalfa in Kansas. 16-18' swathers at 2 1/2-3 ton per cutting. I would close the shields so you don't drive over the windrow. Since you're chopping and running it through a crimper. Also pickup the rows with the merger the same direction it was cut will not leave any behind. Where you need all the leaves as this where the protein source comes from mainly. I could see from the drone that was picking up one row opposite the way it was cut and another the same way. The row will look white as it pushes stems over as if they were being seen from the ground to top of stem where cut. Depending on humidity and ground moisture make up many of the details. Yes putting up hay take a lot of maintenance to the equipment. I miss the fields and how pretty the field looks after cut and hay all baled up.

  • @merlewarnsholz2094
    @merlewarnsholz2094 Před 4 lety

    Sandi - I too love the drone footage. Down here in the midwest alfalfa is also grown. Usually it is cut one day, and then depending on how much humidity is in the air, the next day it is raked to basically turn the cuttings over so they can fully dry before the crop is baled, and then stored for usage. I will be following this effort with you and Mark to see what happens after the cutting and merging. Blessings to you and your family from the retired Pastor in Davenport, Iowa.

    So nice of your neighbors to let you borrow his machine. Farm machinery is very expensive much more so than most people know. It really is an investment that doesn’t pay for itself instantly. Don’t worry, you’re not the only one that has bad things happen when you’re the one doing it lol.

I didn’t realize you could do any kind of job on a farm without some kind of machinery breaking in the first half hour. Lol. Very neat to watch from the drone. Wishing you luck!

    Your drone footage and presentation is amazing! I like learning about all the technical information about things, too.
