[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1538663, member: 25884"] We just got through making over 1450 square bales and about 20 4x5 round bales to finish up, starting last Saturday and finishing Thursday eve., before we got nearly an inch of rain on Friday. Delivered 2 loads of 200 each and put another 200 in a neighbors barn and sold another 100 off the wagon. Then filled up the wagons and finished with the round baler. It was 9:30 Thursday night when we got all the wagons in the barn and the balers under the sheds. We still have about 35 acres to make; about 14 acres orchard grass and another 20 of just grass hay. The orchard grass will be square bales and the other will probably be round bales. We are losing the place with the grass hay after this year and so want to try to get the last of the hay we can. Owner wants more money than we feel prudent to spend; have had it for years but since the husband has passed, she has gone up and we cannot justify continuing to do spraying and such with increased rent costs. Maybe it is time to cut back a bit, it is the furthest away from us but has been good pasture for heifers on the one side of the road. Have two places with plenty of grass to start moving fall calving cows w/ calves to. Pastures elsewhere are getting eaten down now. Looks like your cows will have plenty of grass Sky, ....LOL.
