2019 like 2018 I had three to four major hail storms pound my farm,, you can see in the first pics the hay was beat down,,

Even so I was able to salvage more hay in 2019 than grew in 2020due to the drought

With the rains hitting every three to four days it was hard to keep ahead of the summer fallow that year,, I had to use to 1200 and G Series offset to knock this growth down, it was not really dry enough to use a disc but i had little choice

You can see Much more hay in these pics taken a week or so before the others above as this had not been beat with hail yet
 
Thank you for the pictures. Always interesting to see how things are in other areas. I imagine that the square bales your cousin was making got soaked through. Worst thing for small square bales. The speed goat looks pretty well fed.
 
Those are great pics sir. It is so sad to see all your hard work and paycheck being destroyed by hail. I enjoy your pics very much. I enjoy the scenery out West. Thank you. Kow Farmer Kurt
 
TOM, Great pictures and the story along with them. I do not understand the theory behind working the soil to keep moisture,I get removing weeds. This is so different from here in Northern Ohio. It is always nice to learn more even at 75. Jerry from Ohio
 
Jerry, when working summer fallow you only work it deep enough to cut off the weeds and or break a crust, if left crusted it will start cracking and how ever deep the crack goes is how deep you will lose H20,, if worked correctly I will lose only the H20 in the top 1/4 to 3/8",, 99% of the time its 1/4" or less, basically by working it I seal the H20 in, along with killing any growth that has started, hope this explains it some what
