TEDDING Meaning and Definition

  1. Tedding is a term commonly used in the agricultural industry, specifically in relation to the process of haymaking. It refers to the action of spreading or turning the freshly cut hay in order to promote faster and more even drying. This operation is typically conducted using a tedder, a machine specifically designed for this purpose.

    The tedding process involves the use of rotating forks or blades, which gather and lift the cut hay, subsequently throwing it into the air. This action helps to expose the underlying layers of hay to sunlight and air, facilitating the drying process. By turning the hay, tedding ensures that both the top layer and the bottom layer receive equal exposure to the drying elements.

    The benefits of tedding include improved drying time and increased hay quality. The process helps to minimize the risk of mold or spoilage, as any excess moisture is crucially eliminated. Additionally, tedding helps to separate and loosen the hay, preventing it from clumping together and forming dense and wet bales.

    Overall, tedding is a critical step in the haymaking process, particularly in areas with high humidity or unpredictable weather conditions. The efficient and appropriate use of a tedder can significantly enhance the hay's nutritional value, as well as increase the overall yield.

  2. The act of spreading grass for making into hay.
