Haying

Haying is well under way.  We had the neighbor cut for us.  He did the first 40 acres with his 18ft cutter in 3 hours. It's incredible how fast that is. The swath is huge. I don't know if our square baler will be able to pick it all up. The second 40 acres is also cut now so we have to get going with baling.

The hot dry weather has helped with drying the hay.  It's been over 30 deg. for the last couple days.  Today promises to be the same.  It's 9 am and already 25 deg out.  I worked at the market garden this morning.  Went out at first light and worked until 8am.  It was already too hot then to be comfortable.
