I started cutting some 2nd and 3rd cut hay fields, this past
Thursday. By Saturday afternoon I had 100 acres laying
down, so thought I should quit cutting, and try to get some
bales made. Got 40 acres of 3rd cutting, which I started with,
baled on Sunday. Made some 90 bales of really lush hay, and
started to wrap Monday morning. Went out Monday afternoon
and started raking the remaining 60 acres, once finished I
began baling, made 90 bales before dark. Things didnt look
good for hay this morning, and rain was forecasted. The last
field I had cut wasnt ever going to make dry hay and would
need to be wrapped.
So I started baling right after chores just before 9am
Things brighten up by noon, and the field of dry hay I couldnt
finish because of darkness last night, was now dry enough to
bale
By the time I was finished, the sky was once again full of dark
clouds, and I had made 262 bales off of the 100 acres.
