Green Feed.....money maker or not?

I agree the secret is to have good equipment that does the job. One guy around here has a 12’foot discbine blows out the swath wide then tedders it and rotary rakes it then makes big square bales and puts it in shed the bales are beautiful. It usually stacked in shed for sale well the old school guys 18 foot haybine swaths are still in field rotting . No different then everything in life if you have something of quality people will pay a premium for it .

Remember, cows are your salvage end users. At least that's how they're treated.
Always seem to be the lowest margin crop. Few cows left here.

That is why I have cows( well that and the ever present fear of global cooling), to add value to the products that otherwise are nearly unmarketable. To salvage the hail damaged, frost damaged crops, to use the land too wet to farm, to eat the rained on hay or slough hay, or damaged bales. When viewed this way, their margins are actually quite high, as compared to leaving land idle, or giving away poor feed.
