Hay Making on a Different Scale

[RayIN]

Another round of 2nd cutting done. Very poor yield even with fertilizer. Just a crappy year all around. Still picking off first cutting. Customer orders are filled. Sales are down again. Making some baleage with it to feed this winter and get some rounds and squares in the barn to sell. We went from wet and no weather to make hay to hot and dry. Then comfortable and dry. We are currently in the middle of a 10 plus day dry spell. Yields are going to suffer.

Getting tired of all these smoke events. Seems to happen way to often and used to be a fall issue. Now it is late spring and late summer/fall

Somewhere I read that the first thing a farmer must have is hope. How very true.

If you aren't an eternal optimist, you can't last in farming. You also need a good wife and help thats willing to work odd hours along with you.

Buncha money aint bad to have, either
