The Official Farming Thread...

Only one more load to go at this farm. The trail cam caught me leaving with load of hay, Hay is hard to find around here. Everybody is looking for hay. View attachment 173377

Hay is hard to find out here too. Alot of people have hobby animals but no land or equipment to process hay.

 

[Only the Tony]

There is hay for sale around here but at the prices they want the sellers can keep it. $70 and up for a 4*5 and $30 and up for 3 to 4 year old.

I put 227 rolls in the barn last year, I might have 35 left. Spring is coming slow.

I probably should have said affordable hay is hard to find. Thats what they go for here too. We have had issues of people cutting and baleing anything just to sell. They will use poultry manure as fertilizer all year on their fields to pump out the bales. My wifes aunt bought a few of these and lost a horse and another got real sick from nitrate poisoning.

Sorry for the delete, as I made a typo, The tractor is a 7610, not a 7710, as stated. It is still a good tractor.

Yeah good tractor the 7610 was a better tractor on steep ground
