Tomorrow is going to be the BIG day. Temps in the 90s. Good for the hay. Not so good for wilting hayers. <BR/><BR/>Yes, similar to canning in August, only we don't get to eat our efforts!<BR/><BR/>Hi Candy,<BR/>Yeah, haying is pretty much at the bottom of my farm jobs list. Seriously, I'd rather muck out the barn. It would be different if we could put up the hay in winter, but of course that makes no sense. But it gave me something to think about today while we were unloading those 100 bales in the heat. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Steven,<BR/>We usually cut hay just once a year, sometime in June or early July. Our hayfield is capable of producing over 1500 square bales of hay, but due to unfavorable weather conditions, it hasn't done that in at least 10 years. The first year I moved here (2000) we baled up ZERO bales of hay. It was pitiful.<BR/><BR/>Last year our first cutting was so dry and poor and way too small that I was having to think about selling most of the flock. Then we had surprise rains in August, and we (along with many other farmers) did a late summer cutting and got enough decent hay to keep us through the winter.<BR/><BR/>We're hoping to another late cutting this year on the part we don't have a chance to cut right now.<BR/><BR/>Hi IGO,<BR/>Yes she does! : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Karl,<BR/>Dibs on that tarp! It sounds fabulous. I can already think of about 90 things I could do with it (and the slip-n-slide is definitely one of them). We should be able to somehow figure out how to get it from there to here. I'm also going to leave a comment on your blog and look for your email, but I wanted to let you know I'm very interested. Thank you so much. I knew there was a reason I mentioned that new tarp today!<BR/><BR/>Hi Joe,<BR/>Thank you!Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1149902939281969972006-06-09T20:28:00.000-05:002006-06-09T20:28:00.000-05:00What a great pic of Cary Susan!What a great pic of Cary Susan!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1149895525819352132006-06-09T18:25:00.000-05:002006-06-09T18:25:00.000-05:00responding to pricey tarps. i'm not sure how far y...responding to pricey tarps. i'm not sure how far you are from us but i have a line on thick vinyl reinforced canvas. it is used for bill boards and printed on one side. i just partially unfurled it and made a temporary slip-n-slide for the kids. it is too heavy to ship--mine weighs 100+ pounds. i plan to use it for a buried water shed barrier above our root cellar, temporary roofing for our milking barn and will still have a big hay tarp for nimue's round bales. i know i can get at least one more. i paid $20 for it.Omelayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084221498316008069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1149887101314185592006-06-09T16:05:00.000-05:002006-06-09T16:05:00.000-05:00Cary looks so tiny standing in the middle of that ...Cary looks so tiny standing in the middle of that big hayfield!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1149881119889019802006-06-09T14:25:00.000-05:002006-06-09T14:25:00.000-05:00How many cuts of hay do you get in a year?

Not exactly fun, but it certainly pays dividends come winter. That must be a good feeling.
