Starlight star bright...

Star Light Star bright,
The first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the 80 rolls of hay.

Need some?

 

[Jogeephus]

Yep, from the looks of things it looks like I'm going to be 80 rolls short for some reason. :bang:

Jogee, if we lived a little closer I would give you all the hay you needed to finish out the season. Had good hay last year and it looks like I'm going to have about 150 left over. Cows are already starting to leave the hay and eat the green stuff coming up. Glad to see the green grass squirts this year.

Thanks Lava. Just a tip, don't be playing with matches around your hay reserve. :lol2:

Jo... I feel your pain! We had to buy hay ourselves this year to get us through. We got hit pretty hard with dry conditions last year and our hay production was down about 30%.

Hoping for a better season this year!!

It sucks doesn't it? Brian, the good thing with you is you can blame it on the drought and I have no one but myself to blame - and those chinese matches that didn't have a proper warning label on them warning they could burn hay. :lol2:

I've watched the supply shrink every day. We have plenty of water but this cold snap has sent everything backwards. Snow last Saturday. :???:

On a good note, word has gotten out about my carelessness with matches and I have had several people call me to rub my nose in the mud a bit. After a good ribbing, all but one has offered to fill my hay needs and one even told me not to worry about the money and just replace what I take with my hay when I cut some. Can't ask for better friends than that.

Great news Jo!

Makes you think that all is not lost in humanity!! There are good people and neighbors everywhere! Best of luck to you... and stay away from things that can burn you!! :lol2:

Yes sir. Been there, done that. Kids playing with fire works burned up about 60 bales a few years back. Had two rows stacked in the field ready to move and they were playing between the rows. It went up like a bomb and we count ourselves really lucky neither were burned.

Hope you didn't get hurt other than losing a little face.

Glad you came right Jo, good on your pals.

BTW - Were you playing with crackers or dynamite

How's the overall hay situation up there, are you going to be able to find some when you need it?

Naw, firecrackers are illegal here in Georgia. I was burning the woods off. Had the hay spot buffered and plowed around but somewhow a spark got in it and it was a tinderbox. I kindof thought it might but I didn't see how it could but as we know fire is as sneaky as a snake.

Hook all the hay guys are out of hay.
