Over the past week, three participants of the Boerenbusiness Roughage tour mowed their plots of grass and put it in silage or in the bale.
The participant from Nieuwerkerk (Zeeland) was the first participant to mow, he mowed his grass on April 22 and drove it into the pit on April 24. a lot of grass came off the plots, before mowing he measured between 24 and 30 centimeters of grass on his plots.
On April 24, the participant from Udenhout (North Brabant) mowed his grass, this grass was driven into the pit on April 25. The grass was of a good quality, only the quantity was disappointing. This can also be seen in the photo during mowing.
Pressing your own bales
The participant from Zuidbroek (Groningen) mowed his grass on April 25 and put it in the bale on April 26. He does the latter himself, making bales with a diameter of 1.40 meters with his press. He prefers not to have the bales bigger because they will then become too heavy and unmanageable.
