    Purchasing Hay Equipment: Tedders and Rakes

    Feb 6, 2026

    After mowing a forage crop, the next step in the hay-making process is drying forage to a suitable content for end use. Forage intended for dry-hay production should be at 20% moisture or less before baling. Hay baled at the correct moisture decreases the risk of spoilage and hay fires while maintaining nutritional value (Krieger, et al., 2021). If baleage or silage is the intended product, the moisture can be much higher, but usually not over 60%.
