straw finally and 2nd cutting almost done
We have been very busy maintaining our hay fields this summer. We got about half of the 10 acre field baled yesterday in the scorching heat. My husband and our help worked their tails off yesterday. No one passed out or got sick. Of course our summer hasn't passed by without any hitches. A cultivator shank ended up in the baler. So, of course, it was out of commision for about a week. A nice man we didn't know ended up loaning his baler to us. Many thanks to him! We have 400 + bales of rye straw if anyone is interested. We can deliver locally pretty reasonable within a 20 mile radius.
