Okay,,,,dont kill the messanger
I know most of you are having problems with drought.....certainly that is not my problem up here in western New York.
Bought a brand new massey baler in May, can't get the hay cut because of too much rain.....damn, it rains almost every day! And it is cool besides.
We are pretty new to baling but have decided we have to cut next week (hubby is on vacation from his regular job) What is the shortest time frame before baling, Can we cut one day, let it set one day and rake and bale on the same day? I know it is better to let it dry some, but honestly it has rained here almost every day. We have no tedder so if it gets wet should we just re-mow or run the rake over it a second time. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, I guess it is!
