Yep, this is our first. Been married for a little over 2 years now, and together for just over 8 years total. Kinda figured this was the way our son would make his grand entrance. It has been a while (hour or more) since she's felt a contraction though, so it could be another false labor. (I'm hoping he holds off for 1 more day...)

Our 1st crop was almost a complete bust. We cut first crop to chop it Memorial weekend, and then we got rain for 3 weeks. Only got hay off of what we bought from a neighbor and 4 acres of our own. 2nd crop was pretty rough just from running it down 1 week prior to cutting, chopping 1st crop back on the ground. I should have just taken another day off from work so we could have busted our butts to get it done, but I didn't. Been kicking myself since.

The last of our 3rd crop is 3 weeks behind where it should have been, but with everything else being so screwed up, it's just the way it ended up. Our oats was also taken off atleast 3 weeks late, but being there is new seeding in there we surely didn't want to rut that up as bad as we did the rest of our hay fields.

4th crop, the way it looks, should at the very least be just as good as a decent 2nd or 3rd cutting. This cutting has so much grass, weeds, and other "stuff" growing with it, it looks more like a 1st cutting. Never seen a 3rd crop so weedy before. It's just been so wet, it's been hard to get anything done.

The water levels are just starting to go back down and we got another heavy storm yesterday after we chopped what was on the ground. About 15-20 mile East a farmer lost his shed and a couple others are missing steel from their buildings. A few silos are topless now too. Had marble size hail at our farm, but not much so not really any damage.

Been an odd year, that's for sure.
