I've joined the washed hay crowd. Cut real good fescue/common bermuda hay one morning, rained 1/4 on it that afternoon. Next day tedded the hay, had good sun, next day raked hay, started to bale about 5PM. Time was getting short but i had hopes of finishing, got about 1/5 done, then baler clogged up. Baler is Vermeer 505I which almost never fails to start a bale, but it did then. Worked at clearing it before giving up and going back to house where I cleared it using a steel bar persuader. Too late to bale then, but forecast was good. Next morning which was Sunday it rained as I was going to church. Sunday afternoon I read a good book, went to check on hay about 5PM, found that it was dry enough to bale and finished baling. Great relief. Probably 30 bales.
