Growing Our Own Livestock Food, Hay Production, the Beginning

7/12/2014

 
I have 10 acres available for hay production.  I start getting the equipment I need.  I have a good Vermeer dealer nearby so I am going to use Vermeer Farm Equipment for my hay harvesting.  I started off by spreading 60 tons of chicken manure over the future hay field in addition to the 60 tons I spread over the pasture.  I have never harvested hay, so I begin by practicing mowing and raking in the future hay field.
