Name: baler
-
Description:
This 'baler' would have been different balers. It could have been the NH 311 baler but most likely this 'baler' would have been the baler that the Kellogg Farm Dairy Center had on the farm. Over the years the Kellogg Farm had different model New Holland baler on the farm.
Note: The New Holland 311 baler (small square baler) was sold by MSU on March 18, 2016.

2010-07-16 Harvest Baled straw from the LTER Main Site Treatments T1 and T2, all replications. Straw from the wheat harvest was left to dry in the sun for 2-3 days until the moisture content was below 14%. Each plot was then individually round baled. In most plots, multiple round bales were made; at the end of each plot remaining straw in the baler was baled regardless of the size of the bale. Bales were left in the field an additional 2-3 days at which time they were removed and weighed to determine the amount of straw per plot.
2010-07-19 Harvest Baled and weighed LTER Main Site T6 Alfalfa plots. Plots were cut on 7/16/2010 with the JD rotary haybine. On 7/19/2010, hay was raked and left to dry. Plots were then baled. Replications 1, 2, 3, and 4 were square baled. Replications 5 and 6 were round baled. Weights were determined for all individual replications.

2007-07-20 Harvest Baled T6, all reps. Baled into small square bales. I think Jim S. used the JD 2155 tractor and NH 1469 baler to bale the plots today. Jim B. picked up all the square bales from the plots today.
2007-08-31 Harvest Raked T6 plots again today, yes we raked on August 30 and 31, 2007. Raked T6 plots, all reps, reps: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. On August 31, 2007 we doubled all the windrows up again (two windrow into one bigger windrow). So over the last two days we put four windrows into one windrow. Mick baled T6, all reps, reps: 5, 4, 3, 6, 1, and 2. Baled into small square bales. Jim B. picked up all the bales from T6 plots, all reps.
2001-07-09 Harvest Mowed the alfalfa in the lysimeter field. July 9, 2001 mowed the alfalfa; July 12, 2001 raked alfalfa; July 12, 2001 baled alfalfa from lysimeter field.
2001-07-30 Harvest Baled wheat straw. Baled all reps of T1 and T2. I think we also baled T3 and T4 plots. We did not stop baling T3 and T4 wheat straw until 2004 or 2007.
2007-07-13 Harvest Baled T1 and T2 plots. July 12, 2007 we baled T1 reps: 3 and 6; T2 reps: 1 and 6. All other T1 and T2 plots were baled on July 13, 2007. All the bales were picked up and removed from the field today. I think part of the lysimeter field was baled on July 13, 2007. I think Matt P. or Jim B. baled the straw. I think Jim B. baled and Matt Picked up the bales. I think everything baled today was small square bales. Everything baled on July 12, 2007 was round bales.
2004-07-14 Harvest Baled T1 and T2 plots were baled between July 14-15, 2004. Look below for specific dates of plots baled. July 14, 2004 we baled T1 reps: 1 and 5; T2 reps: 2, 3, and 5. July 15, 2004 we baled T1 reps: 5 (finished T1R5); T2 reps: 3 and 5 (finished T2R3 and T2R5). All other T1 and T2 plots were baled on July 13, 2007. I do not have the baling dates for the rest of plots. I think most of the bales were picked up and removed from the field between July 14-15, 2004. This was the first year we did not bale the straw from T3 andT4. The straw from T3 and T4 was chopped back onto the plots at harvest.
2015-11-04 Harvest Harvested Corn Stover in the GLBRC, treatments: G1, G2, and G4 all replications. Stover from G4 reps 1 and 2 were on November 5, 2015. Harvested - Eastern 75 feet (30 rows) of each plot, except for G2R1 and G3R1 the western 75 feet (30 rows) was harvested. The remaining 15' (6 rows) area unharvested is the stover non-removal microplot, located on the western 15' of each plot except for G2R1 and G3R1 where it is located on the eastern 15' of the plot. Stover weights were determined weighing round bales on platform scales. Grab samples from each rep was placed in paper bags weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and reweighed to determine percent moisture for each replication. Estimated harvest time was from 10:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (this estimate is just harvest time it does not include equipment set up and equipment clean up time).
