It looks like by the end of the week we might be done with the first cutting of hay. It is awful mature but will make feed. I decided not to do the wild/grass hay since it is so mature. The alfalfa fields on the Sarpy side have an unbelievable amount of hay on them. I estimate it's going about 2.5 ton/acre which is an incredible amount for non-irrigated alfalfa. I am going to have to start on second cutting as soon as the first is done. I don't get a second very often but some of the first fields cut are coming back pretty good and will yield a little more hay.
I talked to the gas delivery guy the other night and he tells me they are harvesting wheat like mad in the Hardin area. It's going 50-60 bushels/acre so they are all happy. Wheat harvest is going on and I'm still cutting first cutting hay. That's the breaks I guess.
To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Please believe me here, the cat Mittens is trying to get Lucky to play with him. None of the other cats around will play with him so he is always trying to get Lucky to play with him. Sometimes it works out but this time it didn't, Lucky had other things on his mind. Taken 1/16/2007.

Lack of that tractor hasn't put a big kink in me yet but it will be nice to get it back.
