Got some hay in

Northvale PA · May 23, 2019

Got some hay baled yesterday evening. It is always tricky weather this time of year. The mid west storms are rolling straight at us today. The knotter was acting funny and about 6 bales of the wagon load had a bad knot. I had the tension a little loose as the hay was barely dry enough.

It is a tough time of year to get hay dry enough to bale.

Only way I could do hay is if I had a hay drier since it is to wet to even be in the fields

I'll probably start to cut some next week forecast is the temperatures in the 80's.

Rolled up a few Tuesday, first ones we've done this year, have a few acres on the ground I'll try to roll tomorrow.
Hopefully next week we'll be going full bore if weather doesn't stop us, have another 140 acres that needs to be cut.

looks like those bales will heat up and tires show moisture looks like better be fed soon , I am glad do not fight that anymore, I got all that type land in crp

Looks like the baler is making dust. That's always a good sign. Pile them on edge, cut side up. They'll be fine.

We've been chopping grass and some first cutting alfalfa this week because it's starting to bloom. It's not fit to bale around here, it's just been too wet, still way to much moisture in the ground to get anything dry. We were chopping triticale last week that was just starting to head up, it had so much moisture it would hardly do through bagger, looked like pea soup, (dairies are using triticale as a cover crop on corn ground, because it matures earlier than rye and the cows seem to like it).

Looks good - we?ve got a week or two before we start cutting.

The "rain gods" are finally smiling here in N. Tx........finally. Baling a field today and another I cut yesterday in a couple of days. Thought for sure I was going to plow this crop back in the ground but guess not.
