No conditioner or crimper? Uh-oh! My first season of farming, I had to tackle a field of cut & unconditioned oats. Though it was an unusually cool & wet summer, it was still sopping wet, after being turned three times, better than two weeks later. I ended up selling them to the local horse boarding outfit as I got them off of the field. Half a wagon a day for four days..... & them bales weighed a ton! They were also so wet, they didn't heat. I will admit, the oats were fairly tall, taller than I've seen Esker get. They were put in thick, too, to keep the weeds down. So.... yep. It's going to take a minute, but now you will have this under your belt for future knowledge. Bonus!
Good luck & have fun with it.

They are not million dollar collectibles! They usually average about $200 on down to "no interest" at auctions around here..... when we had auctions around here. *sigh*
