Our pasture grass, primarily faun fescue, is 3 to 4 feet tall.
|
|
The first step is to cut the grass and leave it to dry for 3 days.
|
|
After the initial drying, Tuck rakes the grass into windrows.
|
|
The windrows are turned over once a day for 3 days for additional drying.
|
|
Clyde drives the baler over the windrows to make the bales.
|
|
Our yield is 100 bales of weed-free grass, over 4 tons.
|
|
The bales are ready to be picked up and stored.
|
|
We use the front loader to load the bales into the truck for transport to the barn.
|
|
After all this work, it's time for a rest.
