As well as a stud and commercial cattle operation, I also run a hay and silage contracting business.
Back in 1995, I was one of the first people in the New England area to plastic wrap silage-oats, lucerne, soybeans, forage sorghum and shirohie millet being the main crops that I bale.
Nowadays with various tractors, a 13’ Krone disc mower conditioner, a 14 reel Schinkel V rake, Pottinger 21′ twin reel PTO rake, 22′ Lely Tedder rake, McHale V640 baler and McHale twin satellite silage wrapper, I can cover a fair bit of acreage in a day!
