[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1824119, member: 25884"] All the "dryness" is another reason why son went on and cut a couple places that we would have not bothered with. We are in "good shape" for hay.... but more is better right now. Sq bales are in demand and so he went on and cut the 10 acre OG field and baled it yesterday after I got it raked. At least 200 sq bales off it and still had 3 windrows left... he will roll the outside since there are leaves and other stuff in it... and will roll another 14-15 acres of just "grass" that I raked yesterday. Going to finish raking today, have about 12-15 acres total, left I guess 2 more fields... We made alot of sorghum-sudan hay this year, all dry baled, didn't wrap anything. Planting more OG on some of the sorghum ground but we need moisture for it to come up... Slight chance mon-tues... but turning alot colder... DS wanted to get the wheat in for the cover crop on other sorghum ground but it is so iffy due to lack of moisture... if we get just a little, it will come up and get frozen out if it turns cold... Been a tough year for everyone for different reasons but mostly from lack of rain. I've seen a couple of shallow ponds that are now dried up... never seen either one completely dry like this. The only saving to this is the leaves on the trees have been very pretty this year and did not get stripped off the trees with hurricane/bad weather. We have had very warm temps this week, around 80.... so nice to be out catching up... but going to drop 30+ degrees the first of the week to below normal... then might level out. Supposed to get a chance of some rain the first of the week ahead of the temp drop, but not looking like much of anything. [/QUOTE]
