First cutting of hay is done

The very last of the area I was cutting did a pretty good job of washing the sickle bar. But any how now just have to wait a day or 2 so it to dry and then I can bale it. Have a feeling that once this is done I'll run out of barn space for a 2nd cutting so may not do a 2nd cutting or try to sell it right after I get it done
 
Your yield is a lot better than mine I didnt average 1/2 a ton to the acre between grasshoppers and an exceptionally dry year I was thankful to get that much . Finished baling today hopefully the cows wont have it ruined before I get there to haul it .

I only bale on around 15 acres and got close to 100 round bales 5X6. Was a cool wet spring so things grew good but it has now turned hot and dry. Heat warning the last couple days with heat index in the 100s
 
Thats a lot of bales holy cow . We never had much rain or snow in the last year it was awful hot for a few days in June and July its cooled off a lot though luckily but still havent seen hardly a lick of rain. Things have to change awfully soon around here . What hay I did have the grasshoppers just destroyed it looked like you took A lawnmower through it

Here in South Ga. we have had a really wet spring and summer, we are in a drought now ...it hasn't rained in about 15 minutes... I could only roll about 5 acres of my hay because of wet conditions. The second cutting has been put off till last cutting due to water. I have been working on a way to pull baler with my boat but I am having a hard time getting hay to dry. :oops: :roll:

Farming is a crap shoot at best but I still keep trying..
