The BaleTime Hay Monitor is a practical tool designed to help farmers know exactly when it’s time to bale. It uses two humidity sensors to measure conditions at the top and bottom of the windrow, giving a clear picture of what’s really happening in the paddock. Instead of relying on guesswork, farmers receive real-time notifications when conditions hit the right mark. The monitor is simple to use, built tough for farm use, and powered by a long-lasting battery. A new beta version includes optional cloud connectivity, giving farmers the chance to experiment with humidity charts and early-stage prediction features — tools still being refined based on farmer feedback. Developed with direct input from the field, BaleTime helps reduce risk, save time, and make better decisions during hay season.
