Here in southwestern Va. we had extreme heat for several days. Most of my hay was cut but still had some to cut. Weather forcast was for 50% chance of showers and t-storms. I figured another couple days of the heat the hay would ruin standing since it was already dead ripe. That was a 100% chance of losing it versus a 50% chance of getting it wet in the mow.

All this siffering worked in my favor. Got the hay all finished with no rain. Two days later we got a little over an inch of much needed rain and the temps are back to normal. Having said all this I really don't think the calculated percentages had a thing to do with it. Must have been because I prayed for no rain untill I got my hay in. I guess I was looked upon with favor!
