There is a lot to not like about the format in Hay talk to not like.

The major information I had for Part one was For
The Proper handling of Hay by West Virginia. I read it in a Virginia Hay symposium's proceedings.

Another key is the stems take longer to dry to baling moisture than the leaves.


With a light cutting I drop the hay in a wide swath, usually covering most of the ground behind the MoCo. Rake the hay the next morning and bale the following day.

With a heavy cutting I will look at the pan evaporation and expect to bale the day after the hay is finally dry enough to bale. Around supper time I check and if the stems snap I will bale the next day. So the hay may lay in a windrow over one or more nights.
