Mowing and Drying

Our hay is cut using dicsbine mower conditioners. The discbine allows us to cut hay earlier in the morning our later in the day while the hay is still wet from the dew. This allows us more drying time in the small windows we have to make quality hay in the humid NJ climate.

The conditioner on the discbine conditions the stems of the hay to allow moisture to escape from inside the plant.

The hay is then tedded to allow the hay more air flow and sun to help speed drying.

Baling and Handling

Our hay is baled using New Hollland 575 small square balers. These are the most high capacity and reliable balers on the market. They are equipped with on board moisture meters that take moisture readings on the hay every 3 seconds. This allows us to separate any wet bales and guarantee that you will not get a moldy bale.

The hay is then stacked with a New Holland Stack Cruiser. This pickes up 160 bales at a time and stackes them in the barn for us. Allowing us to bales thousnads of bales in a day, and not having to worry about workers getting to tired to finish the job.

Delivery

Hay is then loaded onto our trucks with a forklift equipped with a special hay grab. This grabs each layer of hay from our stacks, 18 bales at a time, and loads them onto our trucks. This speeds up our loading time allowing us to get more deliveries done in a day, and better service for you.

We can delivery up to 200 bale loads on our gooseneck trailer, and smaller loads on our flatbed truck. We have a 50 bale minimum for delivery. Tractor trailer loads are also available.
