    hello HayTalk community, my father and i are wondering on which bale wrapper to choose. We will be wrapping our own hay but also wrapping for others like a custom operation.

    We bought a new property that has about 12 acres planted in hay. New to Oklahoma, never dealt with hay. Where can we find someone who wants to cut/bale/buy this hay? It's a relatively small field, the few people we've talked to don't want to bother coming out. Any help or suggestions would be...

    Hi all. Looking for advice from people who have bought or sold corn stalks out west. The market this year seems to be saturated with a lot of straw.

    Has anyone here ever baled hemp straw before? This was my first go at it, it was combined last fall, just clipped the heads off. I baled 300 acres of it yesterday. The straw was swathed the other day with a 35' MacDon swather. I went in and baled it with my 568 Deere. Interesting crop for...

    We are borrowing our local farmer's JD hay rake, which is very old and is wheel driven windrower. The other neighbor just cut our hay which is VERY tall and quite mature (our hay beine couldn't even get through it). We could not get our outside double row of hay dry. It seems the more we...
