It was a great day…sun was shining, no equipment issues, hay was dry…these are the days when hay farming is fun again.

I only have 200 small squares of Orchardgrass mixed with (slight amount) fescue left…anybody needing some quality, clean square bales? Baled at 14.5% moisture. Sprayed and fertilized the first of April.

We are planning on having Teff Grass for sale this season. Most will be round bales but small square bales can be filled by request.

KENTUCKY — Get ready for winter: Farmers’ Almanac predicts a cold, snowy season

It may be hot right now, but winter may be coming in a big way for Kentucky. According to the 2025–2026 edition of the Farmers’ Almanac, residents should prepare for a season marked by cold temperatures and plenty of snow.

The almanac, now in its 209th year, forecasts a “classic winter wonderland” for the Ohio Valley region, which includes Kentucky. Frequent cold snaps and multiple snow events are expected, with mid-January and mid-February highlighted as the periods when the bitter cold may hit hardest. Some areas of the state could even see snow before the official start of winter on December 21.

While the Farmers’ Almanac uses a combination of traditional formulas, historical data, and folklore to make its predictions—a method that has often sparked debate over accuracy—it remains a trusted guide for many who like to plan ahead for the season.

Kentucky residents may want to start thinking about winter preparations now, from checking heating systems to stocking up on essentials. With snow and cold likely to make their mark, the 2025–2026 winter could be one to remember.

As the ol’ song goes…..”You load sixteen tons and what do ya get, another day older and deeper in debt”.
But…got a good shot of a harvest moon as it was coming up when we finished.

I have 65 “excellent quality” orchard grass round bales. If anybody is need some, give us a call. These bales were put up dry….no rain from the time it was cut to the time they were picked up out of the field.

They are 4x5 bales, wrapped with poly twine. They are stored outside due to limited barn space.

Finally…a sunny day to put some hay on the ground. Now if it will just last long enough to get it out of the field and in the barn.

We Are Expanding!!!

Commonwealth Farms now has a subsidiary expansion endeavor.

Welcome to “CF Enterprise”.
In addition to our hay business, we are expanding to Forestry-Brush Cutting, Land Clearing and Excavating.

We are equipped with a Mid-Level Excavator (14K) and a 42 inch brush cutter to do forestry-brush cutting. The brush cutter is an excellent addition to eliminate low hanging limbs over field edges, to trim out fence rows, cutting heavy vegetation and smaller trees (up to 4-5 inches in diameter) around ponds…and a host of other jobs a normal tractor mounted brush cutter can’t get too.

Our excavator is mounted on rubber tracks that spreads the weight of the machine out evenly over 6 feet on two sets of tracks. This helps to reduce soil compaction and the disturbance of grassy terrains that would normally get destroyed with a larger excavator on steel tracks.

If you have land clearing needed, we are able to accommodate that request too.

We are still all the same business as “Commonwealth Farms”…owned and operated by the same. You can contacted us through the same means as you have before. If you need your property improved on by eliminating unwanted brush or storm damaged trees, give us a call.
