This weekend the weather was better than predicted, so it was good enough to bale Saturday and Sunday, but I didn't have any hay down because of the forecast of clouds and showers.

I learned early on that there is always going to be rain forecast when you need to cut. I gamble and every now and then get caught but if I gamble I only cut 10 -15 acres depending on the forecast. It seems the only time we get any long stretch of good weather is after the hay is way past prime. Also, this year they are predicting the rest of the year to be the same as it has been with rain and basically unpredictable weather all the time. Good luck to you and hopefully you can get your hay done.
