That’s a lot. How long will that last? Do you plant more once it’s all bail? Be safe out there and drink plenty of water

It will grow back with some rain. Need about that many more to get through the winter.

Send it out this way, hard to get….nephew paid 225 for a bale of weeds, nasty stuff. I’ve been trying to get decent big square bales for two months. Down to 22 for 50lbers, when you can get them.

Wow they have it stacked up in the fields here. They let it stay there and rot. I means around here it’s field after field. If I could load it up on a flatbed trailer and send it your way I would because here it just goes to waste. Even a guy who plants peanuts will bail the plants up after picking the peanuts and haul it out west

How much would you approximate something that large made of grass or whatever it is? You never loaded a tractor trailer or a pick up with hay? Many rolls are 1200lbs or so.

Longer days have more photosynthesis instead of longer nights that stretch the plant.

That is a lot of hay and a lot of work. I never made the big round bales I only did the small square bales and after a day of hay making I was always worn out.

Mike everyone here is baking their second cutting. Weather has been perfect for growing so far. Some make small round bales some huge bales. Others make the truck bed size sq bales. 👍
