I had to put out hay today for the beef cows. Never have I had to feed hay in June. The first crop of hay was only fair and unless something changes there will be no more grass hay. I chopped a silage bag of rye last week because I figure hay is going to get expensive real quick. Our corn is usually shoulder high by July 4th but I can't see how it will be even waist high. I know other areas deal with this often but this something very different here in southwest WI. Our last drought was 2012 and we still did over 100 bu corn. There is double crop corn that has been in the ground close to 4 weeks and not sprouted yet. We topdressed our corn with urea with a N stabilizer and cultivated it in to cover it. We plan to make a silage bag of oatlage in a few weeks and after combining our rye all those acres will be planted to oats to hopefully get a fall crop or at least fall pasture. One thing about dry weather is it takes no management as what ever you don't finish today is there the next day. I haven't put much wear on the hay tedder either. Tom

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
