Hey! Hey! Hay...

Sheesh.

Actually... CRAP!

Of all the years to start farming, I pick the one with the most rain.

So far, getting hay dried to the point where it can be baled has been next to impossibe. I have a whopping 10 round bales for the winter. I should have nearly 150 by now.

All the hay you see down in this picture, plus an equal amount that was cut after this was taken (this is a big field) is now fertilizer for next years crop.

Due to the weather, and a string of failures with "new" (to me) "field ready" equipment just delivered from the dealership all of this hay was lost.

I suppose that's how it goes, but I had hoped to at least cover costs this year. Not looking to get rich, wasn't even planning to turn a profit, just break even.

I might still be able to salvage the year, if it would stop bloody raining! Hay will likely command a decent price; since everybody seems to be in the same boat as me.

Don't pray for rain.
