When the cutting window opens, you don't get to wait around… miss it or break down, and it costs you. That's what this episode is all about.
We are joined by Steven Roberts out of Dalhart and Greg McClure, our Southern Plains sales director, to talk through what commercial hay really looks like day to day -- and what it takes to stay ahead of mother nature when every operation is breaking loose at once.
We get into the difference between custom and commercial hay operations, why the Panhandle silage and dairy boom keeps growing, and how guys are gambling on corn stalks, wheat straw, and used equipment when the weather doesn't cooperate. Steven breaks down his go-to setup, WR265 swather, Fendt 900 series, MF2234 XD baler, and shares the story of how one customer cut his fuel bill in half and went from 14,000 bales in three months to 35,000 in 10 days after switching to a Fendt 1042 with a steamer and twin baler setup.
We also cover early order programs, the bridge kits that let John Deere guys keep their guidance, and why 24/7 service (without the after-hours fee) still sets Parallel Ag apart.
If you're running hay this season or thinking about how to squeeze more out of every cutting window, this one's worth turning on in the cab.
