That's not the easiest thing to do, rake windrows of a thin stand or parts of it being thin like it shown. Overall, looks pretty good. You'll do better in a mature stand, it's kind of self explanatory.
I used a tedder on mature stands, then a NH ground driven rake 256 NH I believe, but we also had a M-F pto driven rake as well. The last one we had was a Kuhn, rotary rake, that was a little different than a side delivery rake.
It was relatively easy to make nice windrows when it's all flat and dispersed with the tedder, basically like mowing in a sense. I pass makes 1 windrow. I raked with using the 315 NH in mind, and the farmer I worked with, really liked the results, his son even more and in the past they did 20-25K bales a year. I'd have it all raked and ready to bale when he arrived from his daytime job. I hadn't done it in many many years, but never forgot how to. I was concerned that it might not be as they liked it done, not the case.
For the 583 JD round baler, I would double up the rows in 2nd cut, he'd tell me how he wanted it, I'd make it so. It was a lot of fun.
I could suggest when baling unknown areas, skip the outside rows til last. Reason I say that is, one of our fields was near the backyard of a nice home and apparently they kept a stack of firewood near the edge, Well one of those chunks ended up going in the pick up of the 315, but it was caught soon enough and we got it out. Had it been worse, we'd have lost the field do to weather, vs, just the outside rows because we did the middle first.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
