Gonna start cutting hay Monday. Anyone else ready?

You wrapping your hay? It's not even close enough to being warm enough to dry here.

Some of the fields are ready. Not all of the fleet is. I could run if it wouldn't rain every other day.

We have a week of nice dry weather coming.......

By Thursday it will be about 80.....

I cut......then run thru it with a tedder the next day. Let it lay the next day, and bale on the fourth day usually.

It's going to be a while here yet...super wet and cool this year. Nobody has turned a wheel in this area

We still need it to stop raining a week and let the ground dry. We haven't even done any pre season maintance yet. Will pull it all out next week and go through it all.

Lots of bottom alfalfa is under water here! Won't last long! Look for higher hay prices! Wheat was headed out so it's pretty hammered if water gets over it!

I've had my 2640 all apart over the winter. New PTO clutch, water pump, rebuilt the oil cooler.......and on and on. The disc mower is just on it's second season. The rake is new. I've got two balers......surely one of them will make a roll. LOL

Im really anxious to get some hay on the ground. Want to try out the new 4 basket tedder my FIL bought!

I should have put a new clutch in the Zetor this winter but had to fix the truck instead. I figure i can get another season out of it. Hopefully!

2 of the seals I replaced on the front end rebuild are leaking. Still need to tear it back down. Finally got the 7320 back up & running.

You are kidding, right! Everything under water here now, and more rain until Monday. Major flood last night, 2.6 inch's in 45 minutes. And still raining. Took out 2 big water gates, and my just planted sweet corn patch. Calling for rain for 24 more hours yet.

We are the same way Charlie. Just been non stop rain and cold. Only made it to 49 degrees today! And rained too.

Thats the part i liked! The rest just sucks. Been there a few times too.

 

[amberg]

Has anyone got any seeds in the ground? As soon as it drys out I’ll be plantings.

Yes, 1/4 acre sweet corn which is now under water. Raining too much to get pics.

Sir no sir Charlie. I'm serious. We've had an extraordinary spring for the hay. Lots of rain, but where we are, flooding is an impossibility.

Wish I had pictures of the bottom last night, the one creek was almost 200 yards wide. And it is still raining as I type this. I have couple fields ready to cut also, don't think it going to happen soon.

I bought the steers a new mineral lick and salt block Friday. They approve...
