Boy!

This is really depressing! Darned alfalfa isn't even half way there yet and it's turning in on itself, so got to knock it down.

No wonder nobody wanted to buy this silly farm. :>)

Now, if it doesn't rain within the next couple of weeks, we'll be feeding what hay we do get. Groan! :>)

Mornin'! Got lots of guys cutting and baling here. One of my friends told me at coffee this AM he's going to have over 1000 bales on his first cutting, most all pure alfalfa! We're gonna need some more water to get a good second cutting, but oh man, it looks good now!

I know where you're coming from!! Today I started cutting some hay, just the 2 poor feilds we are gonna plow under so we can get going on them. I only got 1 feild cut before it started raining too hard, but I atleast got 1 knocked down. We just ordered parts for the 14'er yesterday so I used my 1600 on the 9' NI. Man that feild was sad, almost all grass, some (barely) alfalfa and it was only about 18" tall in the good spots. The other good hay feilds it is well over 2', but they ain't coming down for atleast 1-2 more weeks yet.

The 16 enjoyed the workout but I think I may have just a splash of water in the gas. Everytime I turned up feild (very gentle slope, about 5-10' rise over the entire length) it would sput and sputter a little bit then recover. I drained the sediment bowl once (couldn't yell if it was all water or all gas, but it didn't smell very strong), but I may have to again. It could also be a partially clogged fuel line again.

So far so good, hope to bale it on Monday as long as my 3 1/2-4 day window stays open. I start my new job 7 A.M. Tuesday morning.

Hay looks pretty good here. Course I'm irrigating as fast as I can. I should be starting, but running a little behind (as usual) Hook up the swather on Monday, and probably be in the field on Tuesday or Wednesday. I think I've got everything else ready to go. If you run out of hay, don't worry, I can get you a load of horse quality small bales to you within a few days.

I held off as long as I dared.. Lot of guys have been going for two days.

I'm going to also help a couple of my neighbors double-team about 240 acres. When it goes downhill, it goes in a hurry. :>(

I think we'll have enough for ourselves, but that 100 ton is out of the question this year. Ponies are gonna get a taste of "cheat grass hay" this time around. :>)

Yeah,

Took 'er out there, unloaded it and just had to test it out running 'round the stack yard. Basket spins quiet as a church mouse. :>)
