The BaleTime Hay Humidity Monitor is your go-to tool for making hay when the time is right.

Our tech removes the need to constantly check humidity levels.

✅ Place it on the windrow.
✅ Plug in the sensors.
✅ Insert the hay probe.
✅ Turn it on and walk away.

Set your desired humidity range via a simple text and get an alert when conditions are right for baling.
Want to check in? Just send a text for a live update.

Now that’s hay management done right.

In this episode of Hay Matters, brought to you by LocalAg and Feed Central, host Jon Paul Driver concludes his three-part series with South Australian farmer Matt Eckert. This final instalment shifts focus to the financial, mechanical, and personal pressures that often sit behind the paddock – and how Matt and his team are navigating them.

From soaring machinery costs and safety scares to family life, team trust, and planning for the future, this conversation reveals the daily challenges that aren’t always discussed, but shape everything on the farm.
