I Know, I know ....

Instead of windrow testing why don't you roll one and probe the bale right after it comes out of the roller, I'm not trying to be a know it all , just curious.

Hadn't considered that, no reason not to. Although many on here, far more experienced at this than me will just say 'stop worrying!' And they're probably right!

Well?

Smoke or fire?

Curious.......

No, all is good. Probed moisture and temps are coming down, smells sweet ....

That's how I have always done it, I actually thought that if a moisture probe was used that's how everyone did it. If it reads higher than I like I just wait an hour and try another one, sometimes that's all it takes, if I know rain is coming I might push it a little but my preference is to roll between 10-14%

Common around here, VT. Is to leave the fresh gatherd bales on the wagon for the first night.
