Hay Would Have Turned Good If If If

The front patch normally for the past couple year gave me 30 or slightly more small square bales. I cut about half one evening after the guessers called for three days without rain. I checked again just before going to bed that night and they had changed the forecast to rain for the next five days. They were right on the second forecast. I have some where around 7 inches of rain on the down hay. I ran it thru the crimper six times and raked it last night. It was good and dry when I came home from the plant. I just put 20 bales on the trailer to take up to the plant to store for bedding. I took one way long bale up to the north shelter and ripped it apart for bedding. shook out like straw. The crimper has it broke up and soft. I cut the rest last night and ran it thru the crimper twice this forenoon. Probly rake it Friday morning and bale Saturday. I am sure I would have got over 60 bales off the whole patch if it wasn't for all the rain.
