COMMON PRACTICE: How Many Acres to Cut
□ Hay producers often limit the acres of hay they cut each day because they are not sure how much
baling they can actually get done each day with unpredictable natural dew conditions.
●
CONSIDER THIS CHANGE: How Many Acres to Cut
□ Since DewPoint technology allows operators to bale 12-24 hours per day, (almost anytime the hay is
dry) hay producers can “schedule” their harvest.
□
Simply decide how many acres you want to bale each day and go ahead and cut that many acres
each day.
□
Each DewPoint/baler combo can typically bale 200-250 acres in 8-10 hours, depending on yield.
