Is the timing for cutting hay out of your control?

As you can see, the timing for cutting hay is sometimes out of your control, but learning as much as you can over the winter months can at least bring you some sense of control.

How do you cut hay for haybine?

Cut your hay with a sickle mower or sickle haybine if you have a small or medium-sized field or a disk mower, if you have a large field. Then, use a baler at a steady, moderate speed, which will be the most effective. Store your hay under shelter or cover it with a tarp sheet to protect it from the rain.

When is the best time to cut hay?

The best time to cut hay is when your hay-field is just about to flower. That’s the answer I got for first cut. OMAFRA suggestscutting hay in the morning just after the morning dew is off for better drying. However, if you want more sugar in your hay OMAFRA suggests cutting hat later in the day. Try to cut a swath that is as large as possible.

How do you know when Hay is ready to harvest?

An easy test to do to see if hay is ready and bend it in half. If the hay is still wet, it won’t make any crunching sounds. If the hay is ready, it will make a crunching sound and snap almost. Do this test with the hay at the bottom of your windrow.

Is haying a good way to start a farm?

Reply Rick wsays: January 10, 2017 at 11:13 If starting out, do NOT do just haying as your sole enterprise. You will grossly fail. Hay removes 1/3 the soil carbon and needs to be replaced or rested or cover cropped for green manure.

Cutting and Raking
Check your machinery approximately one month before you plan to start haying. Delays in harvest due to broken parts or inadequate equipment can result in a late harvest or improperly dried hay. If there are legumes, such as alfalfa and clover, in your hay field, you may need to harvest slightly earlier, when they are at 10 to 20 percent of full flower. Cut your hay when the leaves have developed fully and the seed heads have not fully developed. This is the point when the hay will offer the best nutrition for your animals. Cutting the hay too early will result in lower yields. Cutting the hay too late will result in lower nutritive content, because the plant has begun focusing on seed production. Wait until you have at least three days of dry weather to cut your hay. It takes this amount of time to cure dry hay for baling and rain interrupts this process. There is usually a two-week window in which hay is in the perfect stage for cutting. Cut your pasture with a sickle mower, sickle haybine or rotary disk mower. Generally the size of your land determines which of these pieces of equipment you will need, in order of smallest to largest machinery and investment.
Tedding and Drying
Start tedding the hay the day within a day of cutting. A hay tedder is a tractor attachment or piece of machinery that aerates the hay. It spreads it out so light and heat can dry the hay out. A tedder and rake is often the same piece of equipment. Turn the hay one to three times over the next three days. Turning the hay with your tedder or rake will cause some quality loss, because the seeds and grass will fall through the hay onto the pasture. Only turn it according to what is necessary to cure it in your climate. If it rains, you may need to turn the hay an additional time to ensure it is dry before storing. Test the hay frequently to see what its internal moisture content is. It should be brittle and crisp, but not too easy to shatter in your hand. Baling the hay too early can result in spoilage, mold and even spontaneous combustion in your stacked bales. For an easy test, twist several stalks of mown grass, place it in a dry box with several tsp. of salt. Shake the container for one minute and if the salt remains dry, it is ready to bale. For a scientific approach, purchase an electronic moisture tester at your local farm supply store or from a catalog. It should be below 22 percent moisture, usually baled at 15 to 18 percent moisture content. Hay that is too dry will result in extra breakage and lower quality of hay in bales. Rake the hay together in large windrows. Most balers need a wider windrow than the traditional mower can offer. You will get the densest bale with the highest quality hay by ensuring the windrow is sufficiently large for your baler.
Baler Options
Consider a small square baler if you have a small operation. In this case, you may be able to store the small bales inside a barn to preserve it. Use square bales if you keep goats and sheep. They can sometimes be pickier than cows or horses and consume the hay slowly. Pick small square bales if you want to market your hay to small livestock operations. You may be able to sell bales to horse owners, pet shops or people with small herds of cattle. Opt for large circular bales if you have a large farming and ranching operation. The baling of hay can be mechanized with a large baler, saving you time. These balers require a significant amount of investment in equipment. Large circular bales will also reduce the time it takes to feed. They are larger than square bales, so you will need to roll out a smaller number of them to feed your livestock. Choose circular bales if you must store the hay outside. You can cover the hay with tarps, wrap it partially while you bale or arrange it in a stack so that water can pour off the top to avoid spoilage. Go for large circular bales only if you are able to cure the hay correctly. Round bales are denser and more likely to combust if baled when wet.
Baling
Position your baler pick-up tines approximately one inch (2.5 cm) above the ground. You will eliminate wear on your baler and pick up less dirt. Operate your baler at a consistent and moderate speed. You will have less pickup loss if the tines float at the same level and the hay lifts and flows into the bale chamber. You may need to drive more quickly with a round baler to reduce chamber loss. Check your baler after you do one to two bales. You want to check for width, density and chamber/pickup loss. Adjust the settings as needed to improve the quality of the bale. Leave the bales in the field to be picked up later or load them as you bale. Large round bales require larger machinery to lift and stack them.
Storage Conditions
Store your hay under a roof if possible. It reduces the matter loss to two to ten percent. Try to elevate your hay on a platform instead of placing it directly on the ground. Elevating the hay can reduce matter loss by up to 15 percent. Cover your hay in a bale sleeve or plastic wrap to reduce loss further. This may be even more important if you live in a wet climate. Cover your haystacks with tarps to decrease matter loss by up to 15 percent. Some of the water may pour off the top and get trapped in the earth below, resulting in matter loss at the bottom.

6 hours ago First cut alfalfa hay has the reputation of having large tough stems, but this is only true if the hay was too mature when cut. If first cut hay is mowed at the pre-bloom stage, the stems will not be coarse and the nutritive value will be high. Weeds do tend to appear in first-cut hay. Second cut alfalfa hay is usually the fastest growing ...
