As farmers we love rain, but too much rain can be almost as tough as no rain. First, the hay looks great, but with continued rain in the forecast it's going to be a challenge to get it out of the field in good condition. Also, as we extend the harvest date we have to be mindful of weed pressure, lignin content in the alfalfa, foxtail, etc. It's all part of the process to raise the best hay possible.
With all of that said we're super excited about this year. We've added a large square bale stack wagon to our fleet to help get the bales out of the field faster. As with any hay operation getting the bales out of the field is one of the most time consuming parts of the process. We're hoping this new stack wagon speeds that process up. We've also added another 150 acres of alfalfa. We planted these fields last August and will be baling in the first cutting this year. That puts us at roughly 300 acres, with more to be added this year.
That's it for now, as the season moves along we'll post updates here on the site and on Facebook.
