...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI am very fortunate to have all the proper equipment to make nutritious and delicious hay for my horses. I try to impress upon my team how important it is to take good care of everything we have.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis is our mower-conditioner. A hay mower conditioner cuts, crimps and crushes the hay to promote faster and more even drying. My outdoor grounds crew foreman, Chhiring Sherpa, thoroughly power washes the hood and top of the mower.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifWhen weather conditions are ideal, these machines allow farmers to cut wide and fast – the best formula for quality field productivity.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNext, Chhiring washes the tedder. A tedder spreads and fluffs the hay in a uniform swath after the mower-conditioner has cut the hay.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifIt uses a rotary motion to grab the hay with spinning tines and then cast it out the back of the machine.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere is a closer look at the tines, or moving forks, which aerate or “wuffle” the hay and speed up the drying process.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifChhiring rinses each of the tines individually to make sure they are free of any crop debris.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHe also thoroughly cleans underneath the tedder which can accumulate clippings.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe bar rake, also known as a basket rake is hydraulically driven. This rake allows for consistent movement across the fields making well-shaped windrows, or rows of hay.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis apparatus also has tines that pick up the hay and sweep it into the long rows around the field.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI've had all these pieces for years and am glad to say good care has kept them in the best working condition.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifA baler is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut and raked crop into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport, and store.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis is the pick up cylinder which rolls over the cut hay and gathers it into the chamber.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe spiked wheel grabs the bale and with the motor helps to move and propel the bales through the baler.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd then it goes up the conveyor belt to where it is thrown into the wagon.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifChhiring cleans every crevice to remove any debris caught in the machine. This is also a good time for Chhiring to check any parts that may need more maintenance attention.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifMost of the equipment is pulled by our trusted Kubota M4-071 tractor, one of the most important pieces of equipment here at the farm. It is used every single day of the year.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd look at the wheels - each one is five feet in diameter.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifChhiring takes time to also clean the tractor. He cleans around the mechanicals, but is careful to avoid any direct contact with bearings and seals.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifLook how much cleaner it is after just a few minutes. The M4 tractor is designed for basic farm chores, such as raking, tedding, and rotary cutting, but I also use it for moving heavy planters, transporting mulch and compost, and other important tasks.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifChhiring also makes sure to clean and check all the lights and other safety features.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOnce the hay baling equipment is cleaned and adequately sun dried, it is all pulled one by one behind the tractor to the barn specifically designated for these pieces.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI house them all indoors for the cold season to prevent any weather damage and rust. This barn provides adequate air circulation and proper drainage to keep them all dry and safe from the elements.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere is the baler parked for the off-season. Chhiring checks the equipment periodically through the year to ensure it is all safe from moisture, mold, and pests. Good, clean, well-maintained equipment of any kind is sure to last many years.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifMy crew is at it again, pulling out all the necessary equipment to harvest our second cut of nutritious hay for my horses.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifTiming is everything when cutting the hay crop. We hope for at least a week of good, dry, warm weather, so we can work in the fields and guarantee a good harvest.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis is our mower-conditioner. It cuts, crimps, and crushes the hay to promote faster and more even drying.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe discs and blades are located behind the protective shield of the mower-conditioner.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere, Chhiring shows two blades - one new and one that needed replacing.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifEach blade can be used twice - usually for the first and then the second cut of hay in the season.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOn cutting day, Chhiring goes around the fields counter clockwise cutting all the hay. The process of cutting should take about an hour per field. I have three large fields.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe next day, the cut hay is ready for tedding, also known as fluffing. This is our hay tedder. A tedder spreads and fluffs the hay in a uniform swath. It uses a rotary motion to grab the hay with spinning tines that cast it out the back of the machine.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere are tines, or moving forks, pointing downward and ready to aerate or “wuffle” the hay and speed up the drying process even more. The tedder moves up and down the field taking all the greener hay from the bottom and turning it over to dry.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifNext, it’s time to make the windrows, which are rows of hay raked up and shaped before being baled. Here is Phurba pulling the bar rake and making windrows from the tedded hay.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe bar rake, also known as a basket rake is hydraulically driven. This rake allows for consistent movement across the fields making well-shaped windrows. One can see how the machine pulls the hay to create a windrow.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe hay is ready to bale when samples pulled from the bottom of the windrow make a crunching sound when snapped. My fields are all planted with a mixture of timothy, orchard grass, Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and clover.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifPhurba creates the windrows around the fields as Chhiring sets up the next step, the baler.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifA baler is a piece of farm machinery that compresses the cut and raked crop into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport, and store. The baler is attached to the tractor, and then the hay wagon is attached to the baler.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifWhen the baler is in motion, the hay is picked up first in the front. Then it is formed into a bale.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOnce it is tied, it moves up this conveyor belt...
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifIn one compartment, large rolls of twine are positioned and tied to each other, so they can feed into the baler and secure the hay just before it shoots out into the trailer. There are three choices of materials to wrap bales – twine, net wrap, or plastic wrap. If properly baled and stored, hay can last a long time without degrading in quality.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd finally, the hay is picked up, made into a bale and thrown into this trailer where other outdoor grounds crew members work together to grab the bales and stack them.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere is a bale of hay as it is lifted in the baler’s reel and moved up the conveyor belt. And then propelled into the wagon by a mechanical arm called a thrower or a kicker. The bales are manageable for one person to handle, about 45 to 60 pounds each.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifIn less than an hour, the wagon is almost completely filled with bales of hay. Each bale is about 15 by 18 by 40 inches large. The number of flakes in the bale is determined by a setting in the baler. Many balers are set for 10 to 12 flakes per bale. I have two hay trailers. Each one can hold about 150-bales.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifChhiring drives the tractor and starts the process midday when there is the least amount of moisture. Here he is driving our trusted Kubota tractor.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThis cut of hay is stored first in the loft above my run-in shed. It will be moved closer to the stable when needed. And that's a week of hard work in the hayfields - we got 663 bales this round. It makes me so happy to know I can grow good, nutritious hay for my horses right here at my farm.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere I am looking over the mountains around Telluride, a former Victorian mining town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Telluride is set in a box canyon, meaning there is only one way in and out.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe mountain views were spectacular. Telluride is located on the western flank of the San Juan Mountains at an elevation of 8,750 feet.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe area is highly mineralized and was part of the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOn the ground while driving around, we saw many elk roaming and grazing in the grasslands.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifElk and the deer of the Northeast are both members of the Cervidae family, but elk are generally larger than deer, standing one to two feet taller at the shoulder and weighing more. Elk also have larger antlers that point backwards. Their coloring includes a tan rump patch, black legs, and a dark brown mane.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere I am on Main Street in Telluride. The town’s historic district includes landmarks such as the Sheridan Opera House, a performing-arts venue originally built in 1913, and the Telluride Historical Museum, which showcases local history in a converted hospital built in 1896. One can see the mountains behind me. This annual festival attracts about 5000 visitors a year.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere I am with filmmaker, documentarian, television producer, and director, RJ Cutler. We're at the Patron Brunch for all the film entry participants. It was held at Gray Head, an 885-acre development nestled at the base of Mt. Sneffels Wilderness, just a few miles from the town of Telluride.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd here I am with Pharrell - a musician, singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer, and fashion designer. He is also the new men's creative director for Louis Vuitton.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifWhenever I travel, I always enjoy visiting as many places as possible. We had some time to stop at a charming farmers market.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifThe tomatoes are still going strong here in Colorado.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifWe also saw bags and bags of sweet peaches and plums.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif... And bouquets of colorful flowers such as these dahlias.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifWe also saw this single person hot air balloon known as a cloud hopper. This one is owned by Mar and Cody Myers and is called Mar's Rover.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifHere's my team all excited to watch the Netflix premiere of my documentary, "Martha."
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifOne of the film festival's traditions is to get a Main Street photo of all the participants. Here we are getting ready for the large group photo.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI'm sitting next to none other than actress Angelina Jolie. In front of us is filmaker Ken Burns and actress Saoirse Ronan.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAngelina was at the festival for her her latest film "Maria."
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifI also met up with actor and producer, Will Ferrell.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gifAnd here I am with Selena Gomez - it was a wonderful gathering of celebrities.
...t/plugins/lazy-load/images/1x1.trans.gif... And a great visit to the 51st Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. I hope you watch my documentary and enjoy it - releasing this fall! Be sure to let me know.

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Chhiring rinses each of the tines individually to make sure they are free of any crop debris.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT He also thoroughly cleans underneath the tedder which can accumulate clippings.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The bar rake, also known as a basket rake is hydraulically driven. This rake allows for consistent movement across the fields making well-shaped windrows, or...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT This apparatus also has tines that pick up the hay and sweep it into the long rows around the field.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT I've had all these pieces for years and am glad to say good care has kept them in the best working condition.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT A baler is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut and raked crop into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport, and store.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT This is the pick up cylinder which rolls over the cut hay and gathers it into the chamber.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The spiked wheel grabs the bale and with the motor helps to move and propel the bales through the baler.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT And then it goes up the conveyor belt to where it is thrown into the wagon.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Chhiring cleans every crevice to remove any debris caught in the machine. This is also a good time for Chhiring to check any parts that may need more mainten...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Most of the equipment is pulled by our trusted Kubota M4-071 tractor, one of the most important pieces of equipment here at the farm. It is used every single...

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT And look at the wheels - each one is five feet in diameter.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Chhiring takes time to also clean the tractor. He cleans around the mechanicals, but is careful to avoid any direct contact with bearings and seals.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Look how much cleaner it is after just a few minutes. The M4 tractor is designed for basic farm chores, such as raking, tedding, and rotary cutting, but I al...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Chhiring also makes sure to clean and check all the lights and other safety features.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Once the hay baling equipment is cleaned and adequately sun dried, it is all pulled one by one behind the tractor to the barn specifically designated for the...

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT My crew is at it again, pulling out all the necessary equipment to harvest our second cut of nutritious hay for my horses.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Timing is everything when cutting the hay crop. We hope for at least a week of good, dry, warm weather, so we can work in the fields and guarantee a good har...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT This is our mower-conditioner. It cuts, crimps, and crushes the hay to promote faster and more even drying.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The discs and blades are located behind the protective shield of the mower-conditioner.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Here, Chhiring shows two blades - one new and one that needed replacing.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Each blade can be used twice - usually for the first and then the second cut of hay in the season.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT On cutting day, Chhiring goes around the fields counter clockwise cutting all the hay. The process of cutting should take about an hour per field. I have thr...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The next day, the cut hay is ready for tedding, also known as fluffing. This is our hay tedder. A tedder spreads and fluffs the hay in a uniform swath. It us...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Here are tines, or moving forks, pointing downward and ready to aerate or “wuffle” the hay and speed up the drying process even more. The tedder moves up and...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Next, it’s time to make the windrows, which are rows of hay raked up and shaped before being baled. Here is Phurba pulling the bar rake and making windrows f...

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The hay is ready to bale when samples pulled from the bottom of the windrow make a crunching sound when snapped. My fields are all planted with a mixture of ...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Phurba creates the windrows around the fields as Chhiring sets up the next step, the baler.

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT When the baler is in motion, the hay is picked up first in the front. Then it is formed into a bale.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Once it is tied, it moves up this conveyor belt...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT In one compartment, large rolls of twine are positioned and tied to each other, so they can feed into the baler and secure the hay just before it shoots out ...

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Chhiring drives the tractor and starts the process midday when there is the least amount of moisture. Here he is driving our trusted Kubota tractor.

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Here I am looking over the mountains around Telluride, a former Victorian mining town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Telluride is set in a box canyon, meanin...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The mountain views were spectacular. Telluride is located on the western flank of the San Juan Mountains at an elevation of 8,750 feet.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The area is highly mineralized and was part of the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT On the ground while driving around, we saw many elk roaming and grazing in the grasslands.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Elk and the deer of the Northeast are both members of the Cervidae family, but elk are generally larger than deer, standing one to two feet taller at the sho...
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Here I am on Main Street in Telluride. The town’s historic district includes landmarks such as the Sheridan Opera House, a performing-arts venue originally b...

https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Whenever I travel, I always enjoy visiting as many places as possible. We had some time to stop at a charming farmers market.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT The tomatoes are still going strong here in Colorado.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT We also saw bags and bags of sweet peaches and plums.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT ... And bouquets of colorful flowers such as these dahlias.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT We also saw this single person hot air balloon known as a cloud hopper. This one is owned by Mar and Cody Myers and is called Mar's Rover.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Here's my team all excited to watch the Netflix premiere of my documentary, "Martha."
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT One of the film festival's traditions is to get a Main Street photo of all the participants. Here we are getting ready for the large group photo.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT I'm sitting next to none other than actress Angelina Jolie. In front of us is filmaker Ken Burns and actress Saoirse Ronan.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT Angelina was at the festival for her her latest film "Maria."
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT I also met up with actor and producer, Will Ferrell.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT And here I am with Selena Gomez - it was a wonderful gathering of celebrities.
https://static.themarthablog.c...External Subdomain IMG-ALT ... And a great visit to the 51st Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. I hope you watch my documentary and enjoy it - releasing this fall! Be sure to let me ...
