Crazy like a fox, it turned out- the hay "freeze-dried", and he baled it. Very dark green, nice and dry- the cattle loved it. And nobody worked up a sweat hauling it in.
Matter of fact, we might have conditions for that again this year- haven't had a killing frost yet. If it ever dries out, I really need to mow the lawn again, or its gonna be a real mess come spring.
