I mowed one small field Monday AM. The forecast was only so-so, and the ground is a little on the wet side, so I didn't want to risk very much. I tedded it out Monday mid-afternoon, then I was back by 9:30 Tuesday tedding it again. At that point I was surprised at how dry it was, and I could see that more of it would be ready that afternoon than I thought. I started raking at 2:30 and baling at 3:45.

I kept checking for moisture in the windrows and the weight of my bales. I was able to bale the whole field after only a day and a half, and I have to say that it was the wind and the low humidity that made the difference. Normally a windrow on wet ground will suck moisture out of the ground but this didn't happen yesterday.
