Starting Haying... Finishing Hay

Monday -John Lawson started cutting the 5 acre back field today. two minor breakdowns before the first field was finished. Tuesday- chance of rain today. Beginning to tet the 1st fields and cut another.  ... and the flannel mullen is blooming:
Tuesday put up 15 round bales and had them stored by 7pm.  most of the hay was great for 1 day drying and some was a little wet but we had to bale or let it get rained on as it is raining on  Wednesday.
Friday - cut field #1 in the am and it was ready to bale by 6 pm - a first time occurrence for this part of the country. finished at 7 pm and made 12 - 1700# bales. Now rain for several days so haying is heldup..
