I mowed some Friday afternoon, got started way later than I wanted to, so it didn't get worked at all Friday. Yesterday the kid tedded it twice, but it wasn't quite dry enough to rake without rolling up a lot of big wads. I'll rake it this morning, give the ground a chance to dry out,ted it out again right after lunch, maybe twice, then rake it up again before night. Tomorrow it will get baled no matter what, maybe left on the wagons to sweat for a few days, or just unloaded loose. Then sometime next week I can pick it over and cull out anything that is too wet to stack.
This has been about the worst year I have ever had for drying hay. Only twice was I able to mow two days in a row, and one of those times the second day's mowing got rained on, and eventually chopped back on to the ground.
After this weekend I will pretty much give up, unless there is an unseasonably hot dry spell. All the rest of my rowen will be grazed off or chopped and green fed. The last ten-twelve acres that I never mowed at all is going to be chopped for poor haylage by one of my neighbors who lost nearly all his feed in the flood from tropical storm Irene.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
