SHOP IN MeiriiNRY METHODS FOUND TO VARY MUCH IN FORAGE HARVEST Demonstrations by McHenry county Implement dealers showed a Variety of methods in harvesting high quality forage at the John Robson farm on Thursday, June 4. Farmers saw 12-foot windrowers cut, condition and windrow hay at a fast rate of speed. After the hay was dried to 50 percent or lower, a variety of different brand name forage choppers cut the long windrows into bits and blew it into large wagons for low-moisture silage (haylage). Conventional high - speed mowers with hay conditioners trailing behind - slaughtered large acreages of alfalfa for the sun to dry. The hay was then windrowed for either low-moisture silage or left to dry further for baling. The new automatic balers with bale throwers handle the hay at about 18 per cent with the greatest of ease and minimum amount of labor. Flail mower conditioners and rotary scythe machines cut the forage, condition it and can also windrow j^ie forage. These machines are relatively new on the market. Farmers viewing the hay day program saw a variety of machines and methods for harvesting succulent forage into high protein, low fiber, low moisture silage (haylage) or baled hay. Ron Carney, Committee Chairman, Charles Weingart, George Freund, Harold Jepson, the Production Credit association staff, and McHenry county Implement dealers and manufacturers worked in cooperation with the McHenry County Agricultural Extension staff to make HAY DAY a fine educational event.
