Busy hay, straw and hot July 4 weekend

We had a very busy work weekend lined up wither the hot weather forecast. Mowed 10 acres of 2nd cut alfalfa grass after work last Wednesday night. 1 small T storm passed about 5 miles away. Baled straw and filled up all 4 wagons Thursday afternoon. Emptied those, got some delivered, baled up all the hay Friday afternoon and evening. Wife and I had both rakes and balers running to get all the hay up before the next T storm. It was close. Had a sprinkle at sunset. Then took it easy by working on the house roof Saturday and Sunday. We are putting in new windows and siding. Now that was hot.

Looks great. We were direct cutting oats for silage and got rained out today. Second cutting of hay needs made as soon as I can get to it. Thanks for taking the time to post. Tom
 
A few more photos from the other phone/camera: both balers running. Makes the work go quickly. Down side is I’ve got to put 2 balers away. We always break open a couple of junk hay bales and toss in the baler to push out the last 2 new bales. Then put the wagons in the pole barn. Fuel the tractors. Put them away. Easily takes an hour to get all the equipment put away. We bale straw on the adjacent BTO fields. That is their corn & wheat. Our land is just the hay. Yes, York County is a beautiful place. Our sheep got turned out onto the alfalfa as soon as the hay was up.
