Hay Down

We finally dried up enough to get some hay chopped down the other day. It's really nice to get the haying started. We were lucky over the weekend and didn't get some of the wicked weather, hail, that was just north of us. Now if it will just warm up enough to dry the hay out we will get rolling. Sixty acres down, over 800 more to go. Taken 6/16/2007.

Looks great, Sam! I hope that the conditions get where they need to be and stay that way. We had so much wind yesterday, some of my hay may have blown over to you, but I think it's more likely in Wyoming, heading south again.

Sarpy-- Good to see someone is haying- as we won't be for awhile-- the Saturday night storms, white reaper, and 90mph winds pretty much did our first cuttings in up here on the Milk...Hopefully some of this will come back, so we can maybe cut some in July...

Was one of the nicest crops we have had in years too, with all the rain we've had... Fickle country...
Heres a link where I posted some pics:

(And these were the good looking fields- I found some yesterday that almost look plowed- and last week they were 4 foot high grass and 3 foot high alfalfa)

I feel for you, been there, done that. One year I lost most of my first cutting to the weather Gods too. The second made up for it so I was okay.

Like you say, fickle country. Yo eve know what is gong o happen. Keep your chin up.

The grass was so tall here that it almost looked like these were calves grazing, but that would be a wrong answer. These are cows with grass up to and over their backs. Taken 10/8/2007.
