How Many Bales I Made Off 15 Acres
We make square and round bales on Alfalfa/oat fields and some grass waterways. Using new and old equipment.
Let me know any feedback you have or ideas you have on equipment I should get for next year for this land making small square bales.
If interested Grant built a mobile app called "American Farming" You can do all this hay baling we did in the video on your mobile device.

How I Planted 50 Acres Of Iowa Farmland
Просмотров 137 тыс.2 месяца назад
In this video, we plant oats/alfalfa on 15 acres and 30 acres of soybeans following corn. We pulled a fence line and combined two fields. We got near-record rainfall over a 30 day period this spring and spots got drowned out. On the bright side, it should pull Iowa off the drought map if things stay wet this summer. Thanks for watching the video! Grant's Channel: www.youtube.com/@UCTxpe7olPj-GK...

    The US government subsidizes farms, especially farms growing corn and wheat. So he probably got a bit more from that so long as he filed the right forms.

  • @minnesotafarmer3177
    @minnesotafarmer3177 19 часов назад

    normal you should only bale alfalfa in the evenings like 7 pm or around that to make sure its not too dry but also has some moisture to create good hay, and normally it takes about 4 days weather dependent to dry alfalfa down, alfalfa takes longer than grass hay and weather dependance than grass

      None of it will be paid off. Equipment isn’t mine I was just renting and the land has 25 years of payments to go. Not complaining just trying to explain how it works. The land is 400k not 25k.

      Yeah got a haybine lined up for next year. Hesston 1120. Little bit of work to get it working again. It's a 9ft cut with rollers, should help the alfalfa dry quicker.

      @spencerhilbert my alfalfa, didn't take to good last year either. This year, I spread pot ash, which helped a little. I plan on discing it up to plant grass. But I like your videos. Mine aren't that good yet, but maybe someday.

    Mate, I doubt anyone with real-world experience could call that a bad first year. Infact, you actually did pretty amazingly for a first year setup. I think by year 3-5 you will start seeing numbers that can be more accurately used for future estimations on the land. Granted you will still have a lot of input costs like getting your own equipment, but to me those are all writeoffs. ps. Don't forget the money from the bales
