I baled the last field of 2019 hay today, November 6. Baled the first field May 8. Six months of watching and predicting the weather. Not quite 10,000 squares and 150 rounds. Think I'll celebrate my 76th birthday next Tue by buying another yesterday's tractor! Southwest PA.

I had to let the last two fields go. We ran out of hay baling weather really early this year.

No baling hay in York county. Ground is too wet since Oct 1. Started raining again and gets too cold at night. Days are short. Dew is heavy.
Good deal. I had to let my last two fields of 2nd cutting go. It started raining the beginning of September in MN and never let up until last week. Now it doesn?t get above 25 degrees. The ground is frozen enough to carry the weight of the tractors, but I think the likely hood of winter kill cutting this late is too high. I put the balers away for the winter last Sunday. Needed the hay, but will have to manage without it.

Finished the field I had cut yesterday around 4:00, it was sprinkling rain the last 3 windrows but not hard enough to call it quits.
Due to the drought hay quality is poor and we'll have to feed supplements but it beats a snow ball.
This 109 rolls will get us up to our minimum needs but I have a couple of neighbors still looking for hay, if weather permits I have another 50 acres I'd like to cut, but with todays rain and incoming cold front it's a waiting game.

Crazy you guys are baling hay and we have 8" of snow on the ground and by tonight itll be well over a foot. And we have had snow on the ground on and off since early October. Baled some the first week of September and it was a struggle to get it dry.

From mid July till Oct we barely got any rain, hay was nothing but dried out fire tender, grass has just started greening up the past few weeks.
Now we're lucky if we get 3 days between showers, nothing heavy, just enough to stop haying, raining today and calling for mixed rain/snow coming Monday with highs in the 30's starting Tuesday.
Looks like we could be baling hay on frozen ground.
