No matter when you cut it, some of the hay always needs baling on the Fourth!

We hauled, and stacked hay till 9:30 last night, back at it soon today.

Stay cool guys!

Hot here today!

But then, it's July 4th! No blizzard predicted.

Stay safe!

Timothy is usually ready to cut by the 4th around here.

Hope it goes better for you than me.

I went to cut lawn yesterday, and the mower sounded funny. Wouldn't cut grass either.

No blade.... I had removed it last week after my wife tried shaping rocks with it. - and forgot.

I picked the new ones up later in the afternoon at the PO.

My buddy wanted to start haying my place but four of the next five days show good chances of rain. Good luck up north with the baling. I know your in Canada but happy 4th anyway. Ed k

Helped some friends with some last week. But this makes the job a little less tiresome: https://kuhnsmfg.com

Nothing to it now days, all machine work. Nothing at all like the old days. Still get to work late into the evening to get the hay under cover.

Cool. Give it away to some blacks in need. You are white privileged.

94 here today, and muggy.

Hope you get a lot of hay, (second cut?) summer seems to flying by.

Done with hay here. Still planting garden though, gotta raise produce to sell over at the local Mennonite produce auction. They give me a funny look when I haul those beans and blackberries in, as they think that only one of them knows how to raise stuff.

Grandkid money......lol. If they come help me, they get the whole check.

Same here, we have been waiting on the weather to clear up.

Got 50 acres baled up last Saturday but I've been afraid to cut any since.




We've had 1.7" of rain since.

Hahaha!

I'm at the pool you Jabronis!

Cannonball!


Could get a little wild tonight...

Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 1am. Some storms could be severe, with large hail and damaging winds. Low around 60. Southwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 80%

I'd get my boot wet!

Kids are coming over in an hour.


Poor man backyard, no pool but we do have a sprinkler!

And beer, we have beer....

Sprinkler works.

Especially with a trampoline.

Beer always works.

I'm in Iowa, not Canada, it looks slim for this summer. (sad)

Makin' hay while the sun shines, good help hauling the oat hay.

Git-r-done!

A lot of chicks think I'm hot, but the reality is...I'm always cool.

Nine oat bales to haul today. The alfalfa is cut, but not dry yet. A family BBQ, and fireworks tonight.

Jake had a TON of trouble with that New Holland hay swather, he spent nearly $2000 cutting 30 acres. he hired the last 25 acres cut.

Done with 2nd crop yesterday. Got the day off.

Wayne, do you store the haylege in an upright silo, or pit/bunker?

Gilbert is sure growing, Richard!

Fine young man he is!

He sure is Barry, the other grandchildren are to.

I plug Gilly in this place so much, only because he is on the farm so much

I saw a guy towing a folded up hay rake with a 4 wheeler this morning, that was a first.

Doesn't take much to tow one. Doesn't take much more to pull one in the field. You might be able to pull one with a big four wheeler especially if it's in four wheel drive. Quite a few guys pull them with their pickups.

He was driving on the asphalt going somewhere and maybe doing 15 mph.

makin hay..........

just not the 4th

Pretty country Tiki, It looks like some rough ground here, and there.

Back in the day.

usually the only water we get is outta a pipe........

gotta wait till the snow melts & fills the res

Both and bags.

Wayne, the Amish still put up hay that way in central Minnesota.

You won’t have to worry about that young man anytime soon. He will have that work ethic instilled in him. Ed k

I am living next to my sis and Bro in laws farm. They lost their dairy farm a few years back, retained 12 acres and the bldgs. Farmer who owns the fields now is getting his 2nd crop cut. It is wild how these guys who farm grain and hold beef cows are not too concerned with the quality of hay. Oft times they leave the round bales stacked along the fields till they need them. I spose if one does not have a place to store them out of the weather you have no choice. Still seems like a waste of good hay though . I grew up working farms loading wagons in the field and unloading them in the hay mow. It kicked my ass as a lean 7th grader! I pray all you farmers get some decent weather when you need it!
