We cut hay a couple of weeks ago and it was really nice stuff. We only cut enough to get a rack or two of small squares up before the rain, and then hoped for dry weather to be able to take a big cutting and get the hay crop in for the year. This week NOAA said we would have a long stretch of dry weather so we cut a lot of hay. The orchard/alfalfa/clover mix looks great and based on the height and volume while cutting, it has to be 2-3 tons to the acre. Cutting it was slow going with the cutter-conditioner but I guess that's the price I'll gladly pay for such a bumper crop of hay. Today we'll spread the hay out to get rid of the wet spots, and if we're lucky we'll rake it up tomorrow and bale.
