[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1690698, member: 25884"] Raked all but about 4 acres to finish first cutting today. It was mowed last evening, and will hopefully be dry enough to rake in the morning, turned up so it will dry enough to bale tomorrow eve. We got 20 sprinkles yesterday but didn't hurt it any. Poured rain for 5-10 minutes 5 miles south but then mostly went east and up the BR parkway.... showers are very hit and miss... hope they miss here for another day... Calling for 50-60% chance this weekend and I hope we get every drop. Son will get all that is raked, baled when he gets off work at 2:30....This some we do custom and the farmer will have to buy hay this year because he is not going to have enough....last year he got more than ever and still bought 30 rolls from us. He had bought some more cows and is pushing his limits..... needs to cut back... the pastures are overgrazed this year with it being dry now.... Hay here is also light/thin. Stalks are fine, more like a 2nd cutting .... making about 2/3 of normal... one place did about normal but everything else is off. [/QUOTE]
