What happens here
Following the mowing, the presenter inspects the field, noting the neatly cut hay laid out in windrows. He discusses the importance of drying the hay to the correct moisture content to prevent spoilage or even spontaneous combustion during baling. Ideal weather conditions (dry and windy) are highlighted as crucial for efficient drying. He mentions using a moisture meter or a simple 'shake test' to determine readiness for baling. He also briefly laments a drone footage failure during the mowing process.
Goal: Understand post-mowing hay conditioning and preparation for baling.
