Was woken at the crack of dawn by the bailer passing the bedroom window as it went into the field. The bales were gone off the field by the time I had my shower at 7.30.
He got the edges wrapped and will do the middle himself.

I think you made the right call, starting to rain here.
I’m not making hay but it hasn’t felt like hay weather for the last week

Super day here. Great sun and wind all day. Baled up this evening in great condition. Over for another year.

Same as that. Only mowed Sunday late morning. Thought would have to wrap it when I looked at it this morning. But the day came sunnier than forecast. Turned twice and rowed up at 5pm. DM 81%

A busy evening in my garden.

A light one that can be pulled up a hill by a ''dini''.........he can bale on the way back down then...😂😂😂😂

Anyone use a moisture sensor on hay bales? Are they just a gimmick?

Got mine bale this evening too. Like you said the day was better than forecast. Breeze here all day and sunshine on and off so turned twice, rowed at 17.30 and baled at 7.
Ideally would have got another day and less turning but the weather decides.
All.over for 2020. 😉

And then the rain came tumbling down

Bales in last night followed by 2mm of rain since midnight.
Wet and windy in North Kerry

Yeah, definite chill in the air these days. I had to throw on a second tshirt going for the cows the last few mornings.

Just chatting to my chap. He got 38 bales off 3 1/2 acres.
Another half day would have given him hay. He settled on haylage.

I got 42 of silage last year with only 1 cut.
He's hoping for a second

Biscuitus

Got the hay baled just in time. Its not the best quality but there is a lot of it. I'm sorted for Winter supplies now. There is a second silage cut but I'm foolishly hoping I can turn that into hay and sell it.

It was a crazy few days here. Got it all baled by last night. It started raining here at 7.30 this morning and the day is slow about opening up here.

Tileman

I think all here got the hay or wrapped it up. Anyone get caught out completely with it on the ground still.
