    unrolling hay

    Some of you might want to try this. A guy I sold some hay to had a small herd and no rings. He unrolled the hay and ran a strand of electric fence tape down the center so the cattle would eat from either side and not trample on the hay as much. Looked to me as if it was working very well for...

    Old Tire in Hay Ring

    I had a old tractor tire laying around close to a hay ring and just decided to put it flat on the ground inside the ring and put the hay on top. Seems like the cattle may clean up the hay a little better. Anyone else ever try this?

    Turnips

    My dad always wants to put a few turnip seed in with the grass seed. Might have over done it this time. 2 lbs on 15 acres. Every seed must have come up.

    Hay Silage

    The hay ring on the left is good Bermuda grass hay.The one they are attacking is ryegrass/crimson clover silage. They will eat every straw of the silage, no waste at all. Also using it as creep feed for calves. Still new to the hay silage and invite comments from other users.

    Hay Wrappers?

    Anyone ever wrap hay for Haylage/Silage? I need input on the various machines used. I am thinking about buying one and have limited experience. Pros/Cons on individual and tube type please. We are feeding some that was done last spring and the cattle love it to the point I think they would eat...

    Oust

    From another post "Johnson Grass in bermuda - after baling hay spray OUST @ 1.5 oz per acre in 20 gallons of water . OUST will kill everything in your pasture except Bermuda grass" Would like to know more about this. Need to clean up some Bermuda Grass if it is not too expensive. Do I need to...

    Moisture Tester

    Anyone ever use a baler mounted moisture tester? I found one last winter for a cheap price so I bought it and mounted it on the baler. I'm just now getting a feel for it but it is a nice little gadget. It seems that if the readings are below 20% consistently that the hay is plenty dry. I rolled...

    Winter Seeded Crimson Clover

    Will it work here on the southern edge of TN. Haven't had much luck with other clovers in the past. The pasture has quite a lot of old dead crabgrass the cattle didn't eat. Soil contact and getting enough sunlight might be problems. (Burn it off?) Could pull a shank type aerator if it don't...

    Mini Excavator

    I think I "need" to buy a good used Mini Excavator just to use around the farm but I can't seem to figure out when I would have time to do all the work I could find for it. The more I consider it the more I think "yea another tool just means more work". Anybody got one or any experiences to share.

    Anyone Cutting Hay Yet?

    We cut about 17 acres of ryegrass today. I don't remember ever cutting hay this early but it just did not need to wait any longer. Already falling down and heading out, any later and it would be just straw. Now if we can get it dry enough to roll up. I'm on the southern edge of TN. If we can...
