Sort of off topic but I took advantage of the warm (60 degrees F) weather yesterday to change the oil in the Farmall H so I guess it fits here :-) Anyway, spent all of last week getting the tank heaters prepped and installed for the cows, horses, and dogs as it has been getting down to 20 degrees at night and the animals have to bust the ice if they want to drink before noon the next day. Then on Saturday and Sunday it turned Indian Summer on us and was up to 60 both days. Was nice because I had one side of the house I wanted to put new vinyl siding on before winter and spent Saturday doing that and then played with the H and the Bobcat Sunday. Spread 40 tons of limestone rock that was delivered last week in the areas that get muddy in the spring so hope it packs down before I have to plow snow as it likes to move around until it is packed well. Just wonder what today will bring. Really would like some rain so I force myself to stay inside and get some chores down that my wife is bugging me about inside the house but really want it dry for the neighbors who are still combining corn and baling cornstalks too. Everyone have a great day!

What do people do with the baled corn stalks? Is that for bedding? Most that I see are just left scattered on the field and eventually tilled in.

Corn stalk bales are used for both feed and bedding.

Some are grinding them for roughage and supplementing the cows with distillers grain or plain corn.

I have a neighbor who uses no hay for his cows just ground cornstalks and distillers grain or also called gulten.

Over here in the SE corner of Nebraska, it was in the 60's yesterday and supposed to be in the mid 60's, and even mid 70's, until Friday (50's on Fri). Lows in the mid to upper 40's.
