You mean these? All I can figure is it got thirsty while I was walking around taking pictures. :D

First Cutting. Second Cutting Loaded the 14th truckload today going to Texas, and the 5th load going to Oklahoma.

Actually that is the big problem in the south. There was a big craze about Lespedeza about thirty years ago here. The only problem was it would choke out the other grasses and when it got dry all you had left was a dust bowl. A three week dry spell and you have nothing. That compared to grass...

If it is the model I'm thinking of, you can pull the pin in the front or outside wheels and pick them up and place the pin in another hole to hold them up off the ground. Just think that everything that goes through one wheel has to go through every wheel from there back. So if its kinda thick...

We have what we call "cane". It is a variety of bamboo, but has always been called cane around here. It grows really fast but bushhogging will keep it under control. If left alone it will grow 10 to 20 ft. Alot of folks harvest it for fishing poles or to put in the garden for pole beans to run...

This sounds like the symptoms associated with blister beetles in the alfalfa.

And yet another miracle eludes us. :lol:

I may do it wrong, but have never had one break on the staple. I stretch the wire to the second post of the H brace or corner, tie the wire to all the line post and the staple the wire to the first post of the brace. I release the wire from the stretcher and stretch the end around the corner or...

I wonder if you could send some FedEx. A 20 oz. bottle of water is over a dollar here.

I decided I would try it once, because no one else I knew did. I made 1 pass across the pasture and 4 months later the grass on that strip was a foot taller than the rest of the pasture. I am leery of trying in on some places, for fear of starting a wash.

Monsanto has spent millions of dollars in research and development on their products and like any other company or individual they deserve to be able to protect their investment by patent. I or you, or anyone else for that matter, don't have to use any of them, but if their technology will make...

Funny that you say that. Resistance to Roundup is a genetic trait that has been bred in to crops. Those genes where found and identified from plants that were known to resist the chemical. So if you were Monsanto where would you go from here? I suspect the next "miracle" chemicals will alter the...

It is my understanding from the research that I have done myself, the rotaion still has to be performed after the alfalfa is killed. Alfalfa produces autotoxic chemicals that are left in the soil and new seedlings are severly damaged by the chemicals and cannot become well established, and if...

Feed the hay. They won't eat it if there is some better grazing in the pasture, and at least you know the bred ones will get plenty to eat.

A long-handled implement having a thin, flat blade usually set transversely, used to break up the surface of the ground, destroy weeds, etc. ...

Absolutely. The baler will not pickup the hay that is laying flat on the ground, and the rake without the center wheel will pitch hay on top of the hay in the center of the "V" without lifting the center off the ground. If that makes sense.

The experts have been teaching for years, even decades, that the only way to survival is through efficiency. This is taken hold in the row crop industry but has lagged a great deal in animal farming. Maybe because there were alot of "hobby farmers" in the industry, that relied on outside income...

Production cost may not be that significant on just the fuel for baling, but the price of everything increases with the cost of fuel. Price increases for lubricants, twine, net, parts, tires, etc. not including delivery, where nearly all the cost is fuel, can significantly effect the bottom line.
