Richie, I would be scared if I were you... using my brain? /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Just don't tell anyone your secret plan on how you're gonna store all 50 acres of hay under that carport...

Just between you and me... how did that go... you're going to condense the hay and then when you're ready to feed... just add water...

I think I understand now... /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Now everyone on TBN knows about it, and we won't be able to corner the market on our new invention!!!!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif We would have been millionaires if you hadn't spilled the beans!!!!/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif Now we've got to come up with a new idea to get rich!!! What was that idea you had about a 60 horsepower BX???/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gifLet's keep this one under wraps!!!/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Re: Manure Spreaders offered...

Don't worry Richard!! I'm not offended!!! I thought that was a great comment. I'm new to the farming scene, and I need a braintrust. Guys like you and John have taught me alot. I'm very thankful for all your advice, and I wish we lived closer. I'm lucky that John and I live near each other, and he has taken me under his wing, so to speak. Everytime we go to an auction together he teaches me so much, though he won't admit it. And we have a great time, too, at least I do!! A great thing about TBN is making great friends, who would never have known each other without it. In fact John and I realized that we were standing next to each other at at least one auction, before we formally met through TBN. With the help of all you guys, I'll be a farmer yet!!!

Re: Manure Spreaders offered...

Don't laugh about condensing hay, when I was a kid they had a pellet plant down the road. You'd take your alfalfa hay there and they would pelletize it for you and either bag it or truck it over and dump it in your grain bins. Sorry, I can't remember how much hay would make how many sacks of pellets or if they pelletized other types of grass.

Re: Manure Spreaders offered...

I don't know much about it, but my brother showed me a place in Ellensburg, WA, where they take alfafa hay bales and compress them very tightly into small blocks; I think he said less than 1/4 their original size, for shipment overseas.
