Had some new hay in the barn on May 15th. It is usually too rainy and unpredictable in central KY to make hay until mid-June or later. We had 4 days of near 90F, low humidity and 20 MPH wind. It is straight grass hay, mostly orchard grass just out of boot stage, so it should test higher protein than later hay. Had to tedd it twice to open it up to get it dry, because it was very thick and green.
This is my "test" hay. My first cut is always a small field of 4 or 5 acres (as my Dad taught me) to test out the equipment, to see if everything works. Everything worked except the tie on the roll baler, which broke after a few bales, so I square baled the rest.
It is good, dry and pretty hay, so I sort of wish I had cut more...but the weather forecasts here are not very reliable this time of year. They forecasted a 50% chance of showers for the KY Derby (May 5th) but actually got 2.31 inches that afternoon.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
