Hay Fever

[Norm]

The bales average out at 780#s and I had 19 on it pictured above. I can put 24 on this trailer but only going on the backroads with it. This is the 3rd cutting.

My hay got rained on last night, just enough to screw up baling for a few hours, not enough to help anything else out, hope the weather built into something better before it got your way Norm.

We got....wait for it..... a tenth of an inch, and that was with a dead bug in the gauge.  :D

We got a little more than a half inch yesterday around 5:00 pm  .  Not bad for a month without rain. It should help out with my sweet corn .  We are in one of the few spots that had enough ground moisture to keep us from burning up .

Hurried yesterday to get the last of my hay rolled up because they were calling for rain. We go almost enough rain to get the hood of the tractor wet as I was driving home.  :D

No rain here in a few weeks now and not looking promising for this coming week. Might have to put the big pump in the river and flood a pasture or two so that the cows have something good to eat in the coming weeks.

Worst drought that anyone can remember in these parts, hay is almost nonexistant, those who do have it aren't selling unless it's for an arm and a leg. Last I heard grass hay square bale was at least $7 a bale, alfalfa was over $14.

We couldn't pump out of the creek if we wanted.

  The creeks are mostly dry.  The rivers are very low and look more like a small creek.  I've never seen the creeks dry up like this.

Our river flows into Lake Superior about 1/2 mile down from the farm. Sooo for our river to go dry Lake Superior would have to drop about 4 or 5 feet.
