First hay of 2015 is on the ground

mercredi 22 avril 2015

Wife and son were going to wait until Friday and mow this Ryegrass before it headed out but I was looking at the updated weather early this morning and told them if they were going to drop it better be today and get it up Friday. So everyone scrambled and got cut and tedded about 4 hours later. I told them put into a fairly narrow swath and let the ground dry out a bit on top. The wind was very high here today, gusting to near 30, and the humidity was low hanging around 30-35%. Going to ted again at about 10 in the morning and maybe again late afternoon. Hay is running very low and there's none to be had around here. Pastures aren't coming in like they should because of the dry spell we had for about 4 weeks and unusually cool nights and then we got 4.2" of rain in 5 days last week. Then next week looks like a total washout.
