How long does it take to make hay?

Making hay typically takes about 5 to 7 days, depending on weather conditions and the type of grass or forage used. The process involves cutting, drying, and then baling the grass or forage. Ideal weather—warm, sunny, and dry—can expedite drying, while damp conditions may prolong the process. Proper timing is crucial to ensure optimal nutrient retention and quality of the hay.
