We're Running out of Hay! And we don't need a GOVERNMENT BAILOUT!
What happens here
The farmer discusses the type of hay bales he uses (4x5 net-wrapped) and their benefits in shedding water, reducing waste compared to twine-wrapped bales. He emphasizes that only a small percentage (around 3%) of the net-wrapped bale is wasted, which is acceptable for fertilizing the land. He contrasts this with the cost and nutrition loss of storing hay in a barn. He also reiterates his commitment to regenerative farming practices by feeding cattle directly on the pasture to improve soil health.
Goal: Explain the benefits of specific hay types and feeding methods for soil health
