Really enjoy the ride alongs in your field! I can almost smell the hay. The only thing missing is a gallon jug of iced tea and George Strait playing in the background. But the sound of the big diesel engines will do as well.

Welcome to the club guys.. summer #5 of drought down here.. were lucky to get a half crop. Good grass hay in small bales is from $10 to $40 a bale. I've seen $450/ton😳 I like the segmented cutter bars! But yes, pain in the ass checking oil!

We had a hell of a drought here in south central IN but are pretty much out of it now. The downside to that however is all the rain has come in the form of some pretty severe thunderstorms. 2 farms north of me, one at almost exactly 3 miles got wiped out by a tornado March 31st.

@@nellsonstout7001 that sucks! We usually have 3"-6" in June.. 2"-3" in July. May is usually 3"-10"... First of May we had 1.5"... June 1st we got 7/10".. and it's the fifth year of no summer rain.

I hope everyone who needs rain gets some. Good stuff. Shawn needs some rain. Right Shawn

A backup discbine is always good to have. Just in case one of the self propelled breaks down.

Always a good day when another northern farmer vid drops 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

It's good to have some hay left over from last year to balance things out. Maybe the second crop will come in strong this year. The new haybine looks like a winner, Tyson! Have a nice day! 😀

Hey Tyson, once again, thank you so much for a great video. Really appreciate being able to ride along with you and get that sense of what it was like to be back on the farm.. I was wondering how that breaking land that you showed in the winter time is coming along

In Latvia this year drought cut hay 60-70 % myself one field last year 65 bales this 6

Here in Michigan we're dry also. The worst part can watch the storms come across lk Michigan and when they hit land they break up.

We got a .5 inch today finally. Hope and pray that all of our farmers get the weather they need to make a good crop. Some places are dry some places the water won't shot off.

Looks good Tyson. Maybe the weather will give you moisture and second cut will make up for it. Take care.

How you going Tyson. That drought isnt good, hopefully a good 3 - 4 inches of rain in your future. That mower looks great. You looked like you were going a decent speed. 👍

What sucks more is we had 6 inches in 8 days just east of Edmonton in mid - end of June. And he probably didn't get much of that :( I know its about 300km away. But you would think a weather front that lasts 8 days long would cover greater area.

About the same here on average. Drove over to Fairview through the back way through deer hill. It was absolutely dismal over there. Hoppers got everything. Bet some of that hay wasn’t a 1/4 bale an acre. Demo’d a macdon discbine today. Really nice machine compared to my JD.
