Initial Hay Field Assessment and Plan

[Applause] hey folks this is Josh Tony rich farmer welcome to the farm vlog today as you can see there's activity going on here on the farm so right now we've got our hay cut and it's on the ground and it's ready to rake and bale I use a V rake what's called a V rake we've already gone around the field about four laps with the V rake and I'll explain that a little bit later on in the video why we did that and why we're doing what we're doing but we're getting ready to hop on the baler here we've got a finished bailing what we raked up last night then we got a swap equipment over throw the rake back on the John Deere tractor run around rake this field up which probably takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 minutes after that we'll rehook the baler up make sure everything's lubricated and ready to rock and roll and we'll go ahead and finish bailing all this and just to add a little twist we're waiting on rain so we're supposed to have rain somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 o'clock it's about 1 o'clock now I got a roll the tractor is dead on
