Nice pics soapweed, see your beginning to hay,
I think the family will start tomorrow on father in law's meadow :lol:

:? Doesn't look too promising though... :evil:

We got just enough rain to make a pattern in the dust. Looked like it rained at vetal to the north and to the south I thought you were probably getting some rain, too bad it petered out. Maybe next time

It's looking to be about half a hay crop. The pastures are shorter than normal, but at least they are still green. We're hoping for a rain yet today, as there is a pretty good chance. It doesn't cost much to hope. :wink:

The hay seems to be really light here too. A fellow down by Hyannis has most of his up we are all wondering if he just gave up on the rain and decided to go for after growth or what?

I have a question for the last two posts: Did it look like a better hay crop, or is it what you expected!

 

[CattleRMe]

It's what we expected with the lack of rainfall. In fact it might be a tad better then thought with the late rain finally in June. Not sure how much it helped the meadows but the rain really made a difference in the pasture grass.
