Shut off irrigation water 3-4 days in advance (2nd & 3rd cutting) *(Why? More in FAQ's, below)

Helps in raking onto dry ground
Watch applicator/product level
If application rate is wrong, you can be using too much or too little product.
Make sure your swather conditioner is set correctly for proper action
Raking schedule **(Why? More in FAQ's)
Check for "ready to rake" beginning day 1 after swathing (fluctuates on tonnage)
Rake 1- 1 1/2 days earlier (onto dry ground)
Reduced handling
Don't "rope" hay when raking, leaf shatter is not an issue
Moisture content
Monitor for best results
Not recommended for high-moisture baling
