Been a fairly dry Spring and Summer here.
Sat around more than one night watching the radar and praying for one good soaker.
Nothin'...
Of course now that a guy is trying to hay and cut wheat and move cows the weather decides to get squirrelly. Just when you don't need it...
Damnit anyway.....grin

Poobs, do the sun dance!
Mark, always!
FG, farmers whine way more than ranchers, most of the time....grin
Richard, your back up north?!
The hay is starting to grow up through the windrow....
Luck would be nice, luckily just 30 acres of a new stand of alfalfa. Not the best. Made a couple bales today, 25-40%...
Big rounds, gonna be chopper hay but more than anything just be nice to get the field cleaned up before it gets any taller. Getting a little wooly!

I could strip down & dance like that - if only they made enough eye-bleach!

Yeah, weather's a little backwards this summer, ain't it?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Just as long as I stay inside, and in town for the next 7 months, I'm happy!

Sam, That 'Hundred Year' rain we had last week put the schit on a lot of the farmers here. Jerome, which is north of us, declared an 'Economic emergency' hoping to get some relief from state/fed sources. Estimates ran from 50-70% loss of the barley and alfalfa crop. We raise a lot of barley here for Coors (I think). Left the shop headed for the gravel yard and turned past a grain storage/transport facility. Second day in a row they've had about a half mile of trucks lined up ready to load. The grain got too wet, apparently, and can now only be sold cut rate for feed or some such. Bummer. My grandma and uncles on my dad's side still farm in Northern Illinois and the last few years it seems they were either losing crops to drought or swamped out. Can't say as I envy you farming types. Too much chance for this guy...  Good luck to you and your family. Hope you get just what need....
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
Stupidity has no average...

Never met a farmer/rancher that wasn't bitching about the weather and driving a brand new diesel. grin That reminded me of Monday, which we were scheduled to do on Friday...Then it rained 2 nights in a row. One time was 0% chance... Trailered in 5-6 miles from an 'all' weather gravel road(after things dried out). Old Fords barely pulled the hill..........grin ![[Linked Image]](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/Summer2014013-3.jpg) And it did green up a little(slight tweak on the pic). Fire danger dropped for sure lately. Who has the fire? Smoky the other day. ![[Linked Image]](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/Summer2014020-2.jpg)

We had a wet start in the spring, then it was showery throughout our haying season (June,July). But its been dry all month.
We just have some second cutting left and a bunch of mulch hay.

Damn Mojo, hate to hear about something like that!
Now that rain would suck!
Chit...
Ben, I remember you guys had a little trouble with your first cutting.
Haying could be so simple but can turn into a headache.
