Dry hay in September? Easier this year than dry hay in June ,July or August for us this year, it just seemed to rain every second day.
All this being said, I hit onto some perfect weather over the Labour Day weekend and made over 300 round bales. And last week the forecast called for 7 days without rain so I did second cutting on roughly 40 acres of grass hay.
Takes until near noon to dry off the due, and by 6pm, hay is getting tough again, so very little drying happens in a day.
looks like nice windrows for second cutting.
This grass hay is very dry and fluffy and makes a nice green bale, I think claves will love this stuff. At the top of the hill, you can see a field of soybeans. Nearly all the green is gone, heck most of the leaves have dropped off. Probably two weeks from harvest
