No Wind Please

Okay you guys,

I dropped 50 acres of prairie hay on the ground today.

Could I please have some CALM weather fer a day or two? Don't give a fig if it rains or not; just don't want this hay over in the next county before I can tie it up. :>)

Here in Western Wisconsin we have had two days without wind. I used one to paint my sheetmetal parts for my Farmall 350D. Was perfect weather for painting, about 75 degrees and just a slight breeze to carry away the fumes. We haven't had many days this year without wind. Roger
 
Don't worry Allan, the wind is good and broke. I made absolutely sure of that last night when dinner decided that it didn't agree with me. :)
 
Allan: I don't know much about your prairie hay, however it must not have great friction between stems, thus the wind moves it quite easily. We have on the east coast what we call meadow hay. It used to be the devil to keep on a load in the days of loose hay.

Years ago two old guys were going for a load of meadow hay with oxen and steel tired wagon. They discovered one ox was ill, so decided to hitch the bull up as a team with the other ox. Everything went fine until the way home. Mrs. Miller had her cow teathered for grazing, adjacent to her garden. The cow was in heat, thus there was no stopping the bull. Bull, ox, wagon and cow went through the garden several times, lost the entire load of hay in Mrs. Miller's garden. Mrs. Miller and Henry got into a rather heated discussion. Mrs. Miller told him, he should have had more sence than to hook a bull in team with an ox. Henry told her, "cow shouldn't be out by the garden in heat."
 
The 8 acres of prairie hay behind my house was swathed and baled the week before last. We have had an abundance of rain this year and there are more big round bales out there than I've ever seen on that patch.
