I prefer not to bale stalks, but I am sure this year more people will do it. I probably won't bale any, as we had excellent ryegrass this spring, and cut more corn silage than ever. Still have some sorghum to chop, and a little double crop sudan coming along behind the corn silage. [Reply]  [No Email]

I think it really wears on rd baler belts. Down here farmers shred stalks with a bat wing mower with a wheel rake hitched to the mower. [Reply]  [No Email]
