Hey Rusty, Since you mention it, my John Deere friend and I were comparing methods yesterday of how we tell the moisture in the hay. I grab a handful from deep within the windrow and can "feel" the moisture. John, on the other hand was showing me how he does it. He takes one "average sized" stem (this is alfalfa) and tries to break it into. He says if it readily "snaps" into two pieces, the hay is dry; if it breaks on only one side and then "tears", it still has too much moisture. I had never seen this method, but we both came to the same conclusion about the hay. Just a touch wet yet. :>) Allan
