Meredith, for your information...........a swather is a self propelled machine which has a header on the front like the grain table on a combine, except the swather leaves the cut crop on the ground in windrow for the combine to follow with a pickup attachment feeding the windrow into the combine. This is the method used to harvest "short season wheat -barley " crops in the northern states and in Canada because this method allows for the straw to "dry out" before the combine comes in.

Take your musket powder or salt & pepper and season your short ribs first and then dredge them in flour. Melt a little lard in a cast iron Dutch oven and brown your ribs just a minute per side of each short rib. Take either a can of apricots OR a can of pineapple and dump over WITH the syrup or juice. Cover with a tight fitting lid and bake in a slow oven for 2 hours or use a crock pot on low for a little longer. Remove your ribs and whisk sour cream into the fruit and drippings to make a gravy. Put the ribs back in the pot to make "smothered" ribs and serve with some of your "smashed" potatoes. Topped with a little of that gravy they're a real treat.

I grew up cutting our alfalfa and wild hay with a swather Meredith. New Holland and they cut a field so clean. You can get them with a hay conditioner in them to squeeze out the moisture to help with curing also. I know that the swing arm mowers like your husband uses are the same thing only they don't have the power train to drive them. The swather has a power train. If I had my choice I would go with a swather over a swing arm any day of the week. :)

Hi Meredith. You are correct. Tedding is the propper word. A tedder (also called hay tedder) is a machine used in haymaking. It is used after cutting and before windrowing, and uses moving forks to aerate or "wuffle" the hay and thus speed up the process of hay-making. The use of a tedder allows the hay to dry ("cure") better, which results in improved aroma and color. So, we watched Lawrence giving a "teddicure", or something like that. No matter what you call it, you are favorites of mine. Love and blessings to the family. Hi from Rick in N.H.

We cut our hay with a mower/conditioner, then spread/fluff it with a tedder, then rake it with a rotary rake, and finally bale it with a round baler. At one time, we did swath our oats and use a pickup header on our combine, but now we have a direct cut grain head. Swathing simply cuts & windrows a crop without conditioning/crimping it. Mostly used for grain crops.

Back when I was a kid working on the farm, we did not fluff the hay. Generally we grew alfalfa and clover. The hay was cut into a windrow. After a day or two we would rake the hay, which just turned the hole windrow over. Then bale it into small square bales. From my part of the world anyway.
@dennisjay3277

That's the way we do it in Wyoming. The rake just flips it over and leaves it in a wind row. The way we do it means we saved a few machine hours but we have to increase the drying days. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
@gregorycross612

Same in West Texas for alfalfa,clover etc. It is to fragile to ted. That would make way to much of the leaf fall off. Tedding is aggressive and helps crack the stems on grass for a faster and more even dry down. We use swathers (New Holland Haybine) a lot in our region . It is a sycle-bar mower with a set of highspeed crimp rollers that throw hay up into nice windrows. You adjust the spring tension on the crimp rollers to crack the stems (but not so tight to strip leaves off) to aid quicker dry down. We have a lot of heavy stem haygrazer, sorgum/Sudan etc in our neck of the woods from time to time. If the ground gets to wet to get equipment into the fields to get it cut, stem can get up to an inch diameter. Then it takes the heavy crimp rollers to crack the stems. Stem that big is not highly palletable, but if you have a tub grinder, cows will devour the stuff.

We baled with a New Holland 2 string baler that dropped the bales on the ground. We had to pick them up and stack the bales on a wagon to take to the hay barn. It was a who,e lot of hard dusty work that I wouldn’t have missed for the world.😊

Hi Meredith, I've just discovered your KZitem Account. In Ireland and this is probably same in other parts of Europe we cut the grass into Swathes, we then put two or more Swathes into a Row. Large Trailed Disk mowers can have an attachment at the back called a Auto-Swather, this has a belt which throws the swathe into the previous swathe you have cut, and you only use this every second pass, when not in use its on a hydraulic ram and sits up out of the way. Its really interesting watching your videos, seeing how things are done a little differently to what we would do, but to produce the same end product.

Here on The Prairies we "swath" in front of the combine, we "mow" in front of the baler. When we mow we can set the doors on the conditioner for the width of the baler pickup, can't "ted" out alfalfa as it'll knock all the leaf off, if you can do without the "tedder" and the rake it saves on the bale costs. Sorry for that last part, lol.

We swath ( windrow) the hay and then use a big rake like you have to merge 2 or sometimes 3 windrows together if the hay is light and you have a really big rake. But no matter where you're from or how you do it the outcome is it gets baled. Lol!

Over this side of the pond (England) we cut the grass with a mower which leaves it in a swath (windrow). Then you go through it with a tedder to spread it out to dry. Then you go through with a rake to put it back into a swath ready for baling. The rows of straw out of a combine are also called swaths. My dog had a habit of rolling in dead things. She seems to have grown out of it now, coming up to 12 years old.

And when we rake hay we pull it together to bail it . When you pull it together it fluffs it up in a big windrow so the air can get through it so hopefully when you get done you can bail it.

I watched your video, and as all ,I loved it. I want to make a couple of comments, being of an old farm background. First you mentioned teeding, I never herd the word, but swath I am very familiar with, technically it is the width of a cut in hay,wheat,or any other grain, or even weeds and trash. It is determined by the implements that you are using, from a hand held scythe, to the most modern machinery. It also carried over to an old Hillbilly expression; When someone would make a boastful statement,ie. I'm going to do such,and such, someone would say,"ah, he's cutting a wide swath".

Before we had a tedder, we would take the rake and roll the windrows over to help them dry out. Cut one day, roll two days and bale on the fourth day. We were also cutting with a sickle bar instead of a haybine. And we square baled everything. Those are no fun to get up all day long by hand...

Too funny. The "help" throws corn on the cow, then the cow throws it back on her!

Meridith out in the field cutting the hay in my youth my dad cut with a sickle mower then followed next with a crimper which later years the operation was combined into what is now a hambone then we raked the hay probably the third day then baked up the windows and you are right the hay sure smells sweet,the only downer is the unloading and putting up in the hay mow, still great memories stay healthy and safe also long winded me love your easy meals crock pot and all!🌮

I just found your page and love the content! I also saw you use Musket Powder in your cooking and I’ve never heard of it, so I decided to order a bottle and give it a try. Thank you for sharing your life as a farm wife! God bless!

I drove by a field of fresh cut hay yesterday (you are right about that sweet smell.) I even thought about Y'all when I was going by :-). Not a whole lot of farm land left here in our area. I sure miss those open green fields and pastures where all those housing developments reside now :-(
