I had to put out hay today for the beef cows. Never have I had to feed hay in June. The first crop of hay was only fair and unless something changes there will be no more grass hay. I chopped a silage bag of rye last week because I figure hay is going to get expensive real quick. Our corn is usually shoulder high by July 4th but I can't see how it will be even waist high. I know other areas deal with this often but this something very different here in southwest WI. Our last drought was 2012 and we still did over 100 bu corn. There is double crop corn that has been in the ground close to 4 weeks and not sprouted yet. We topdressed our corn with urea with a N stabilizer and cultivated it in to cover it. We plan to make a silage bag of oatlage in a few weeks and after combining our rye all those acres will be planted to oats to hopefully get a fall crop or at least fall pasture. One thing about dry weather is it takes no management as what ever you don't finish today is there the next day. I haven't put much wear on the hay tedder either. Tom

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
