Go slow at first. Learn and learn some more. You doing one thing right, you are learning right now by asking. Try to use your Brain not your feet. I would also say I see allot of hay farmers do one thing wrong. They cut a feild and if it gets wet they work on it until they get it baled???
If I cut say 5 acres and it get rained on and is only good for cow hay, an extra day or two in the field is not going to hurt it, already hurt. Now looking at the weather I see a nice weather pattern for haying I cut and make the better hay first, than if I get the time I bale the other hay, I look at it this way, top first cutting is about 2.50-3.00 a bale (35-45) and cow hay is about .75- 1.00 a bale. SO 1500.00 compaired to 300.00-500.00. Now I do not like to let the hay in the field but cow hay I sometime bale right on to the field and pick up in the mornings, if the wagons are full.
