Looks good, can't tell what you are cutting, is that a hay crop or set-a- side land.

No, not look good here in central Va. We are bone dry now, after many months of excessive rain. I just gave a man 30 acres of 2nd cutting hay as he is feeding his cows hay now. We were blessed to have made many bales so far this year.

It is very dry here after it seems a year of rain. Starting to get sinkholes in fact. May make more round bales in fact. Nearly unheard of this late without wrapping.

It’s a low area that’s a water way.

Tried to chop yesterday and almost stuck the tractor. Went from a small drought to a mess in 10 days.
