last July was a tough one!

I took a couple hundred bales off in late june with out rain. Then everything in July got rain!!!! Some got only a 1/4" and dried out quickly. But a lot got more and didn't look too great. It took till August 10th or something on the last feild to finally get it up with out rain. Then a week or so later it started raining again, then snow, then rain. I didn't even get all the second cut baled up in October. Had a little bit left in the field.

I make hay the same way you do it sounds. Cut it with a 9ft disc mower conditioner and spread it wide as the baler pickup. Then go in and bale it up 3-5 days later depending on the crop. Now "normally" it works good. But I haven't seen a normal year lately!! Last year I had a 80 acre field of heavy alfalfa cut down. I'm sure a trip over it with some type of tedder a day or two after I cut it to fluff it back up would have saved the field. The hay sat there 5 days and was just about ready to go. It would have went the next day but it had to rain that night!! It was really hot but no wind and high humidity!

It's just no fun to see all that hay get ruined!! Sure hope this year is different!!!

Still lots of hay down your way for sale?
