I see in a posting below that someone in Minn. Was square baling dry hay last week, Nov. 10. The fact that you could bale squares in MN in early November surprised me. Is this common, or a once every 10 years occurance, are we blaming it on global warming ?
 
Cornstalk baling is fair.y common into late October or early November. We don't get thrm all that dry maybe, it's cold enough to keep them until we use them by spring.

However, it rained all summer long, November is the first dry month we have had since March. Man has it been wet this year, rained every 48 hours, sometimes a few 100ths, sometimes 4 inches, but it rained and rained and rained. I don't think I made any dry hay this year, any cutting.

We are having a abnormally warm year, I saw someone N of Red lake rolling up some big rounds last week. Call it what you want, but we are setting record at a fast pace!
 
I remember seeing somebody chopping sorghum sudan grass in January here in Michigan several years ago. Weather goes in cycles.
 
Not from mn, but just over the border in NW wis .Cut the last of the 3rd crop nov 1. Baled it the 5th and 6th. Nice dry hay. Best haying weather we have had all summer. Very unusual. Like Paul said, it rained constantly all summer. Over the years many times have been picking corn on frozen muddy ground by now . We were married nov 29 1969. The lakes were frozen solid and had had lots of snow. Last year I was plowing on dec 9th and could have kept on til about the 16th.Global climate change caused by the body heat given of by the exploding world wide population.
