Haying in Denmark According to Donald Meile

Donald Meile, an International Farm Youth Exchange delegate, explains Danish haying practices. Fields use red clover and grass with pasture size guiding cow herds. Alfafa is cut three times with timing around bloom stages, followed by daily tedding for about a week until wilted. Hay is stacked on triples, dried eight days to go to the mow, with narrow 6 to 7 foot wide racks and careful field re-raking to avoid waste. Meile notes machinery limits and a small wooden rake to recover remaining stems.
