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 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

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.

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😊

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?.

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.

@@gwc3721 I did the microwave and scale test the first year and started baling at 50 percent. That worked ok but was probably less than 40 by the time I finished baling. I do not have a moisture meter so I'm basing this on a couple of scale tests that I've done and what I've learned. I definitely had a tendency to bale too dry when I first started. About 50% is what I'm trying to get to. The stuff seems really forgiving in wrapped bales. I've had some really wet and some too dry but in the end it was all really good feed.
