First Post Here - Hello

First post. I have been reading stuff here for a good long while but never signed up. So thank you to all the people I have learned from.

My neighbor and I have 3 pretty good little hay fields for this area. We lost our hay farmer a couple years ago. We've been bush hogging it, but we'd like to see the fields making hay. Wouldn't expect much in return either. I put tile in a few years ago and only screwed up one little spot you'd have to work around. Where is it ok to solicit a hay farmer on this platform? I'm new, be gentle please.

Welcome, from the somewhat ridiculous but mostly still great State of Maine.

Thanks turnip. One of my best friends is from Maine. We're just rednecks from different latitudes.

Amen! Well, those of us that aren't just from Northern Massachusetts.

I'd suggest asking everyone you see making hay near you if they'd be interested in your fields. Stop at every hayfield within a couple miles and ask them who makes their hay and if they'd be interested in baling yours.

Have your contact info printed out on paper along with pertinent info like acreage, etc. You could also leave that behind if there's no one home or available to talk.

Whatever you do, don't go out in the middle of a field and stop someone on their tractor that's trying to get things done and engage them in a conversation. Just my opinion, but I've had this happen and find it pretty inconsiderate. Plenty of time to talk on a rainy day or after the hay is in the barn.

Welcome and good luck with it!
