hay

[McKerrow630]

Well I knocked down my hay yesterday only to feel afew drops on my way home. So much for the 30 percent chance of rain. So if anybody out there has any extra sunshine please send it to my hayfield (little breeze with it would be nice)looken for a little sunshine in more ways then one. Hope to sell some hay to pay for 630 repairs. Boy sure taken crap for using JD 3020!!!

I"m with you on sunshine,in this area,the farmers might be close to 50%,so its a long way yet.
Hope you get some nice days too.
Keep going even if it is with a "3020", they were a good little tractor

I knocked down a bunch of cheat grass, and some of the neighbors rye on Monday. I tried to bale some last night. Have 6 horses locked in the corral, and needed a little feed. It was still WAYYYYYY to wet. Broke a sheer bolt in the baler, and now have a bale wedged in the chamber.
Around here, normally, I can bale the next day.

Sure hope you get that sunshine. Alfalfa is normally cut or being cut in this area the first week in June but as of now none has. Everything is behind, like most in the upper midwest its to darn cold and damp. Today 60's, cloudy and evening temps to get in the 40's. Rod.

I'm tryin' to send you some sun. Here in Minnesota we can't even order it either! LOL
Just be careful with that Deere, they like to hide in green grass. LOL Best of luck to you with your hay crop.

Its so wet here now we cant even go drive out on a hay field. Hardly any crops in. Almost no hay cut. Arent deeres painted green so they can be hidden in the brush? Makes those flashy case cOlors stand out like someones proud to own one

Down here in Ok we still havent cut our first cutting of Alfalfa.

I baled up my Rye 2 weeks ago before a rain and havent been able to get the bales out of the field yet. I really need to sell some and pay bills. I told all of the bill collectors/bankers give me until june and I should have some cash flow and well JUNE IS HERE. Been baling like a mad man though, one benefit of wide tires on a swather and MFWD and Duals on the baling tractor is you can mud your way through fields that most custom crews wont touch.
