I too enjoy hay farming. I worked on a hay farm during highschool and I liked what I did. Sometimes I wish I still did it, but then I look at my paycheck and decide this is better lol.

yeah, it’s very meditative... We’re taking one cut off it this summer, then throwing the sheep on it to do rotational grazing... We may get a second cut, as we only have 35 sheep this summer, but as we expand to our planed 75-100 ewes (200+ lambs a year) we will probably not be haying it as much... Unless the sheep poop makes it suddenly grow out of control (it won’t its actually gonna probably take a couple years before its rehabilitated into good production...) in the coming years we may have to go searching for more land to hay for winter forage.

What size bales? 12 acres is a good amount. My parent’s fields are 20 acres, and due to it being a “satellite” location, we’d do it all at once. Made for a long day. Hay was always my favorite thing to do on the farm though, even if you did get a bit itchy unloading the wagons.

we’re doing 4x4 rounds. This cut is gonna be pretty low quality, but the mass is certainly there.
