Hay 2014

It's that time of year again.  The time of year that I remember how wrong NOAA weather forecasts are, and how the NOAA models can't even seem to predict weather less than 48 hours out.  Yep, it's hay season.  Our hay inventory is low this year and it won't get better.  The hay was cut late and while that gave us a higher tonnage, it also means that that it's doubtful we'll get second cuttings.  And with the weather predictions being less than helpful, I'm glad that I switched out the original rollers on the mower to the B&D rollers.  We've been able to cut hay and get it baled a little on the high moisture side, but up in about 48 hours.  This week we should be done with hay, but we'll have to see what the weather does.
