Some of the prettiest green hay I have made in recent memory. Baler failed on first two bales and then perfect sailing, right out of mothballs from last season. Can't fault baler for missed ties - first one the twine wasn't across the billhook, second was due to excess grease on same billhook due to over agressive greaseing.

Normally I wouldn't start baaling for another month. This field needed to be opened up so a local septage hauler can inject his byproduct. Will attack it with a disk later this week. We finally got approval from the DEQ and health department. Two months of hassle with the two agencies. As a side note, I can contract with the hog farm down the road and apply his byproduct basically unfettered because of the right to farm laws.
 
I mean this in the nicest way Ray, but I just finished tillage and planting so...shut up. Just put a sock in it already. I don't even want to see a hayfield for at least a week. My yields are always lower if I bale in May anyway.
 
Don't pay any mind to my late night crabby attitude, Ray. I was smiling when I wrote it. Is that septic residue safe? People run a lot of crud down their drains these days. On the one hand it sounds like a good nutrient source but on the other...guess I wouldnt be digging around with my hands like I was yesterday.
