Re: Mak\'in Hay with John Day
Kyle:
The Percherons are my wife's, not mine. I'd prefer a few feeder cattle. Anyway, they consume about 120 rounds per year. The squares are for selling. The drafts only get first cut rounds.
Actually, I was on the hay wagon too. I though about taking some pictures from atop the pile, but with the swaying, I was afraid I'd fall off. John was having a good time. I gave him the straw hat in lieu of a cab. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Hay is right through the roof here. Most growers got rained on, on first cut. Some just chopped it, others turned it over and over and over and finally bailed some really brown crap. Second cut went the same way. We lucked out on first. I had a 4 day stretch with no rain and good drying temps. I rounded all the first. Second went well too. I have a feeling I am in the drivers seat so-to-speak as to the hay market here this year. I am not selling any bales until after the first of next year. Sort of like money in the bank, I mean, barn. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
