Haying season is just about over. We may get one more cutting as long as the rain will keep it up. We just got back from a trip to see the inlaws below Ft. Worth TX. and it was sure hot and dry. The temps were around 105-108 most of the days we were there. We went out to buy some hay for their horses and the price for coastal hay was $10.50 for a small square bale. Makes me appreciate all of the hay I've been able to get up in the barn. So far I've gotten 2 cuttings of grass and 3 cuttings of alfalfa this year. My outfit consists of an International 240, John Deere 14T baler and a 6x10 trailer I made myself. I mow with a Farmall Cub, sicklebar mower and an old Oliver metal roller conditioner. I have 2 rakes which are a John Deere 52? roller bar rake and an old 5 wheel rake.
