Finally Hay

The window for cutting hay a week and a half ago closed quickly with several days of rain. However on Sunday our hay guy was able to get on the field and start mowing. Last night he baled up the first 12 or so bales just to make sure the baler was working right. (of course it needed adjustment!)

This morning we are looking at a full day of picking up and putting in the barn. He has about 1/3 of the field left to mow but wanted to get this stuff under cover before the next rain.  Each season is different. As farmers we have finally accepted the fact that half of farming is fixing machinery and the other half is delighting in what the season brings!

Whatever happens we will be thankful.

  • We still have about 1/2 left to be mowed etc. but got 132 bales into our barn (we need 100 for the season ) and 112 into his barn. He needs about 275. ( He keeps a horse). I am not sure whether he will mow early next week or not as he has to go back to work. My husband is happy we got in what we needed. Any more we will sell anyway.

  • Congrats, So happy about that. What a relief for ya'll.
