Middle of August made 40 acre of 2nd crop, 1st crop was made late. Big square baler was lined up to bale but the day it should have been ready it wasn't a good drying day. Raked it up baled with preservative and hoped for the best because the next days all had chance of rain, pulled some bales out of the barn 2 weeks later and you can see on the sides of the bales where they were touching that the hay heated a little but was cool when we took it out. A neighbor had the same situation labor day weekend and he had his hay tedded out, close to ready to bale and rain in the forecast next day. When he moved bales over a week later same results. The horse farm up the road was shooting for dry hay last Saturday and they ended up having to wrap it all because it wasn't dry.
Hard year again to make dry hay
