[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1525366, member: 25884"] Just got back. My son tedded out the hay that got about 1 tenth on it, enough to get it wet. Then an hour later I started raking as the sun had come out real strong. The third field had some tough spots in it but they have changed the forecast again to "possibility of scattered showers as the humidity increases" .... so my son came back and started baling the first 2 fields while I finished raking the third and he got to the third just as I raked the last row and left to go take care of my nurse cows. It will get baled and be done with it even if there are a few spots not quite dry. He will roll them on the outside of the bales. Had to haul a load of water to put in the troughs in the pen. No electric and no water near so I haul 150 gal or so every 2-3 days for them and the calves when they are locked in. It's a pain, but not many other choices there and the barn there works very good for the nurse cows. There is a water trough that is gravity fed from a spring way down over the hill in the wooded area but not accessible, so it is easier for me to haul from a spring here & just fill the troughs in the pen. I'm beat and will welcome a shower after I figure out what to eat . 1982vett .... I have to agree with you. Sometimes it really isn't. [/QUOTE]
