I’ve got more than 20,000 invested in haying equipment, not including 3 tractors & haybarn and haven’t baled enough hay this year to pay for filling my fuel tanks.
I’ve burned a thousand bales of early cut alfalfa and brome that was rained on. It hasn’t rained since and now I’m trying to coax another thousand out of a field that should produce 5000. I’m about to give up. Its just to much work and to disappointing.
Everybody who drives by wants to buy hay and what I’ve got isn’t good. It is in fact the poorest hay I’ve ever baled and they’re still lined up behind the baler. I just make them promise they won’t tell anyone where they bought it. The 3rd cutting may be better but I don’t think so because we’re so far behind on rain anything short of 39 days just won’t be enough.
Am I the only one with this problem?
