Just wondering what your haylage is? Just regular hay or? And how do you like that New Holland? I love mine, my father in law is a big john deer man and I give him a hard time alot!

its hay , instead of making bales u run it though the chopper like you do with the corn

No one chops hay here, it all gets baled. The move has been to large round bales or huge rectangle bales the past couple years instead of the small rectangles that were traditional. It's getting tougher to find the small square bales that can be handled by hand for my landscape business.

Most of the field corn gets chopped around here, although some gets picked.

Moisture

Do you have any idea what percent moisture do you chop the hay? Does the hay ferment in the silo? neat video
