We are a little behind Australia!

 

[JOR Farm]

No feed grade hay to bale yet so been practicing with some mulch getting ready for straw

 

[Tx Jim]

Those sq bales appear almost close enough together to "walk on". How many bales per acre was that field producing?

 

[JOR Farm]

That little spot was about 2 acres and it made 252 bales. I wish the whole farm was that good some of it had to many stick weeds to bale and some of it lays to rough and I will have to bush hog. Out of the 20 acres I did bale it made right at 2000 36" bricks that only weigh about 25 pounds each. Glad I sell it by the bale not pound.

@JOR Farm How did it work out on the first run?

EDIT, just saw your other thread. Oops. Back to our regularly scheduled programming here!

Day 1 done...

Day 2.

Unfortunately there won't be a day 3. Been raining since 3.30am . So the last 36ac will be ruined. Bit of a bummer , but nothing I can do about it.....Plan is when ground is dry enough to roll it up and put it in plastic. Will make haulage better than dusty washed out squares.

Small mercies and all that anyway.Dodged big storms Sunday night which would have seen the whole 140ac ruined. Then yesterday morning it spat for 5 hrs that kept things damp till midday. Could easily have dumped more, meaning 100ac ruined. So, considering the wet summer we have had, this is the first bit to get wet.

load of green gold going out

You appear to have a very nice farm. The business we are in is going to get rained on sometimes. I lost 20 acres to rain last year. It is tough when that happens.

Thanks for the compliment ☺ It certainly has been a lifetime of hard work. It's a curse for both my old man and myself that every waking moment goes to improving the farms. Very little idle hands here..

And that's me done for 21/22.
