Top one is Verbena or sometimes called Blue Vervane . It can get bad if not controlled. Seems to choke out everything around it. It took me a while to identify it. Has not come back yet where I used fertilizer with Grazon mixed in.

There are not as many Kuhn balers out there but mine has been almost flawless for 6500 bales. Very tight bales in wet or dry hay. Dealers for them can be scarce but they are built very heavy and should last. I'm retiring and going to sell mine. I expect to get 20k for it as it is now.

I have a Kuhn baler that has baled about 6000 rolls so far. These balers are not as well known but are one of the best out there for high moisture hay. I do custom wrapping and have seen what most balers will do. For dry hay Vermeer,NH and JD are all good machines but give more problems with wet...

Would be a great combo for baleage with wheat or triticale if wrapping is an option for you.

I ran the Reese drum mowers for several years. Yes they would be heavy for a 35 hp tractor but they are almost impossible to wear out. We had the tedder attachment on them and almost never had to use the other tedder. The Reese mowers are easily adjustable for stubble height. One bolt for inside...

I put out fertilizer impregnated with Grazon Next June 1st in a effort to knock them back. I haven't looked it over good since then but will have a good idea when I cut it again. I ran out leaving a small strip so will have a good comparison.

Cut it at about 40",bale smaller bales, wrap, cut again in about 30 days, repeat. Will make high quality feed.

I have used a 10' disc set lightly with a 10' drop seeder hooked behind it with a 12' cultipacker hooked behind that. My poor mans no till rig.

I have 4" skids on my disc mower so it leaves higher stubble and gets quicker regrowth. Cutting too close will kill a lot of grasses.

Hard to control them. Spraying might be an option. I'm a little north of you in Tn and most have given up on the sudan hybrids. Can get one cutting before they hit and thats about it.

I have pulled a 10' disc lightly, cultipacker,dropseeder(ez flow)second cultipacker all in one train. Poor mans no till rig. Ground should be grazed or cut close and baled for good germination.

No experience wrapping dry hay but have been told to wrap the same as wetter hay just for protection. That is using white plastic.

Been doing this occasionally.Works well when tedder is not available.

It is difficult to rake with any rake without getting some dirt. Best result I have seen is cutting with a mower conditioner and set the windrow width to fit the baler and not rake it at all. More travel for the baler but keeps it cleaner. A customer of mine did this in a field that was in corn...

I would rather wrap them as soon as it quits raining than let them sit overnight. Plastic will not stick together right if it is raining while wrapping. A little water on the bales from rain will not hurt anything. High moisture bales will heat up overnight binding up the protein so as not to be...

There is not much height adjustment on most disc mowers. I finally learned after too long that I was actually killing a lot of my grass by cutting it too close. I now run 4" skids under my Kubota (Vicon) mower. I can tilt the cutter bar a little lower in front but I don't tilt it much. I firmly...

I use a mounted disc mower now. Used a Reese drum mower for several years and added the tedder attachment to it. Cut and ted in a single pass.

I have made very good balage with grass very early in the season. (Mid April here) I was in the same field working on second cutting when the neighbor was in the field across the fenceline starting his first cutting.

I have used and it was a good tool as long as you don't rely on close accuracy. I learned that 14 to 15% was a very good reading on mine for dry hay. If spraying preservative the readings may be less accurate but I don't know for sure.

Last year was the first time I knew of them being here and they were bad.
