Good morning folks,
I was talking to a fellow on the phone yesterday about selling some him some hay. He asked me if I had any straw to sell but I didn't have any. Well, I told him of someone I knew who had some and then he asked me a question that I've been thinkin about since then. "Was the wheat combined with a conventional combine?"
I used to work for a CaseIH dealer for several years and we talked about people not liking rotor straw. I've never seen straw from out of a rotor machine so I can't say what it looks like. But I can imagine it would be a bit more chewed up than one from a conventional. Why does that make a difference?
It would bale up just the same and I'd think it would be nicer bedding if it was not so stiff and in large pieces. If it is a handling issue, why would it being in smaller pieces be any different than the sawdust that some horse people like to use. Just some questions that I've been mulling over. Especially since I'm workin on a deal to get a 1440 right now. God bless.
