Busy month haying
August has been an extremely busy month haying. The wet weather of June and July has changed and we have had many days of cloudless blue skies. It hasn’t been easy, but we’ve finished haying! We baled about 11,000 square bales this year and about 1,100 round silage bales. We also did about 150 dry round bales. The Chase cows will have plenty to eat this winter!
Most of our hay crew went back to school on Aug. 11th, but we continued haying by starting at 3:00 each day and working until dusk.
We lined up the bales for nearly 1/2 mile on the cross road. We did enough square bales for the crew, then would round bale as much as we could until the dew fell.
Round bales in a field are so scenic, but these won't stay here long. It's best to get them wrapped up or under cover to avoid wasting good hay.
