Finished up the last field of hay today. Wife ended up driving, I did the stacking. Son unloaded onto conveyor, and I stacked again in the barn. At least it's all under cover, safe from the elements. Pile is pretty high this year, should be good for the feeding season, until next year's hay comes in. Waiting to spring to see if I have a surplus I want to think about selling - with the poor haying season around here, there will probably be some eager, despirate, buyers.
Lost one field to weeds, and rain, both first and second cutting. Other fields were difficult, and more than one got rained on, or took longer to dry then it should have.

All in all, a long frustrating season, but finally over, and in the barn. Cleanup of equipment remains - maybe start tomorrow.
