TEDDED Meaning and
Definition
-
Tedded is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "ted," which refers to the act of spreading or turning over hay or other material with a tedder. A tedder is a farm implement that is used to aerate and fluff up hay or straw by tossing it into the air. The tedder generally consists of rotating forks or teeth that grab and lift the material, then release it back to the ground in a spread-out manner.
When hay is cut and left to dry in the field, it tends to form dense clumps or windrows. To ensure proper drying and prevent spoilage, it is necessary to ted the hay. Tedding breaks up the clumps, allows the air to circulate through the material, and speeds up the drying process. By using the tedder, the farmer is able to create a larger surface area, which facilitates the removal of excess moisture.
The term "tedded" is often used in agriculture, particularly in the context of haymaking. It implies that the hay has been subjected to the tedding process. For example, one might say, "The freshly cut hay was tedded early in the morning to ensure it would dry quickly." In this case, "tedded" indicates that the hay has been tedded and is now ready for the next stage of the haying process.
