I remember that stress of picking the perfect time to cut the hay, based on the predicted weather for the next 4 days, and our availability to work on the hay each day before/after work, and then our scheduling to be able bail it once it was dry. I don't miss those days.
Feel your pain. My first time ever doing hay (inspired by you), got all the windrows done and the rain started. I'm hoping I can just flip the rows for a couple days and bale some decent stuff. Otherwise, it'll just be bedding like you said.
It's been so dry here the grass hadn't even grown enough to cut the second time, untill we got some rain this past week now i don't know if the hay will be a very good quality because its brown from drought now its greening a bit but getting to ripe. Maybe salvage what we can of the second cut and hopefully we can get a decent quality on a third cut.
Enjoyed the video CJ
Thank you Dave! These hay ones are fun to make 👍

It definitely isn't easy, but it makes it that much more satisfying when you can get some good hay stored in the barn 👍👍
Old rotting hay makes great compost!
Yes it does! Luckily this wasn't rotting yet so we will use it for bedding 👍👍

Yep that's how it's been here too. I'm so glad I cut it when I did, because after all the rains we've had since, my field is looking awesome! 👍
