Here we just use 250 square bales for our two horses. Just got the last load yesterday- nice green and dry, long bales. A neighbor down the road does it- really great guy- always perfect hay - has a knack for it.

Rolled 70 4x5 bales on 15 acres yesterday. I had planned on rolling them Saturday but they are in the bottoms & the ground is still wet so it was slow drying out plus we got about .2" of rain Saturday morning.

Finally with alittle down time,after a year I changed my sprayer gauge so I can read the psi better from cab. The gauge it came with in first picture is 0-300 and my new one is 0-100,spraying the hay meadows and pasture usually running 30 to 60psi anyways....

The new gauge is much better, not sure how they expected you to see the other one.

I hope you get it all in, before any rains arrive. We need rain here. Wish we could have any you get, for the next few days, until all hay is up around there.

Looks really good!

I agree. This has got to be one of the wettest summers in a long time. We have been wet since February.

My hay is borderline but taking forever to dry with humidity in the 90's. I decided to give it one more day and start tomorrow, it's calling for 1mm of rain, I'm hoping it doesn't happen cause it hasn't happened this week when it called for it. Hopefully my gut instinct serves me right.

I can say one thing this summer, if the weatherman says its going to rain, you better believe him.
