maybe its different in your area ,( I farm around Lorneville area in Ontario Canada) but for me the best hay I make is the stuff you cut and bale without ever touching it with rake or tedder. As long as it is not wet when you cut with hay bine, and it does not get rained on, it should dry down in the windrow without touching it. That being said it don"t always work that way. You have to wait for a "dry window" in the weather and get er cut. Last field I did just North of Argyle, I was forced to cut right after a heavy rain, so on the night of the 2nd day after cutting I flipped it over. Next day by 2 pm it was in perfect shape. Another chunk of the same kind of hay (some alfalfa,timothy, brome) I cut and baled without touching it as it was cut dry and we had decent weather for 3 days. Last Saturday we baled 1913 small squares, today we baled about 650, plan on doing around 1000 tomorrow. It has been a pretty decent year weather wise here so far any way. Good luck with your haying. After a time or two you will do what works right for you.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
