That sorghum is amazing. Your oats looked nice too. Was a great year for small grain. Nice shot sequence to show the crop progression.😊. It was like being in the field with you. Awfully hot…. Those led lights did the job.

I think green chopping that stuff from Augusr until frost would be a good idea. Even on normal years this is a tough time of year for pastures. I have 94 here now. Too hot. 🥵🤬

NH sold crop dividers for Haybines in the past. Merely something that would split tall, stalky stuff to the cutterhead, without knocking it over. You are doing a great job cutting stuff way taller than the reel.👍

There was a divider on this one when I got it but it looked like someone had caught it on a few too many fence posts. 🤣 I think it's laying around here somewhere. ait could probably be resurrected with a little work. Thanks.

I grew sorgum for the first time this year, and my first bale was around #2000 😂 (5 X 5.5). I ended up making the rest about 50 inches. Thanks for the vids

They were liking it. They put a pretty good hurting on those bales since I put them there yesterday. Thanks for stopping by. 👍🙂

It looks like a crop that has done well in the extreme conditions of this year.

That sure is a good job done Will👍 At least you had help to load the wrapper, it was just me trying to work the one I used, not fun. It was over 95° when I got done raking, that stuff I'm going to square bale is dry. Maybe it will be cooler and if I bale before noon tommrow. Have a barley pop for me😊

We have 95 now. No breeze. I'm glad I'm done with it. Having someone fetching bales and loading the wrapper is a big help.

I should have plenty of feed. I wouldn't have believed it the way things looked this spring.

Nice looking feed, but do you folks have a rake so you can rake it to dry the bottom side up so its not as green when you want to bale it up?.

I do have a rake but this was actually right on to a little drier than it should have been for wrapped baleage. I have never made completely dry hay from Sorghum Sudan always baleage.

BMR trait Sorghum Sudan is around 10-11% I've never tested my baleage but suspect it's lower than 10. It has a high energy value and keeps cows and heifers in great shape through the winter. Thanks.
