    bale it or let it lay there

    This will be my last cutting on some pastures I have used for the cows but intend to make hay fields out of next year. They are about 6 to 8 inches in mixed grass and kinda thin in places. Would I be better to bale it and get it off before limeing or cut it and let it lay there to put some...

    metal zee purlins

    I built or am building a shed off my barn. I aquired some metal roof trusses and set them on 6x6 posts and off of the existing post in the barn. I picked up some metal zee purlins and though I have never put any up I suppose you stand them on end and either bolt or weld them to the trusses?

    renting hay ground

    I know it's been on here but I couldn't find much with my search. Would it be better to lease hay ground or cut on a percentage with the owner? Also what would be fair to both sides?

    Case IH 530 square

    Well I went and bought the case ih 530 square baler yesterday. I haven't got a chance to use it but plan to next week. It's sure a far cry from the Massey I have been using. I hope this weather holds up all season like it's been so far. It's really a good year for hay here.

    methods for raking

    I have an older john deere rake, where you have to make a pass each direction to make the wind row. I usually go around the field 2 or 3 times and throw the hay in enough to make a place to turn around at each end. Any other methods someone wants to share??
