When it comes to the hay baling process, timing is everything and farmers’ schedules are often put in the hands of Mother Nature. The warm, dry months of the summer are often the best time to bale hay, but threats still remain. Untimely rains can ruin an entire field of hay and if it becomes too hot and dry, it could become too brittle. As a result, farmers usually keep an eye on the weather and bale hay in the middle of favorable-conditioned summer days.

To tackle the hay baling, farmers use many different types of balers including, small square balers, large square balers, and round balers. We’ve put together a gallery consisting of various pieces of John Deere hay equipment in action, simplifying the process for owners. Enjoy!

Hopefully, these images provided a visual look at hay baling as peak times for producing hay come into sight. Whether your want to share your thoughts on these photos, or have a photo of your own to submit, we’d love to hear from you on our Facebook page!
