I would liked to have cut last week but it doesn't look like the weather will cooperate till middle June predicting a chance of rain every 48 hours for the next two weeks caused by jet stream staying a bit farther south than normal. ------------- “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough” |

| I would also really like to but just saw the forecast, Iowa is to expect 7" of rain in the next 8 days. |

I'll hopefully be getting started tomorrow. Supposed to be well into the 90's for quite a while and no rain in sight. Hopefully be baling Monday. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| Have seen green wheat down for baling but is now too wet to even consider and more wet coming. |

Put up 82 bales yesterday and 235 today. Still have 500-600 bales worth to cut. |

| Week ago I baled 25 round bales. Had a decent forecast but I decided there was no way we could go two weeks without rain so I sat this week out. We had 1/2 inch of rain this morning. Gonna cut 22 acres Monday if the forecast looks right. |

Hope you fellas are having a better time than me. Got about half done cutting and made a comment about if that mower doesn't make another acre it was worth the price. Well.... It made about 2 more acres and broke 2 of the 4 drive belts. Something else is going on in it I'm afraid. I got 2 belts on and adjusted about right and it won't turn. Just slips on the belts. Going to have to do some exploring I guess ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

I have grass hay that’s been ready to cut for 2 weeks now. Rains keep pushing away any attempts. Even if two good days happen, ground is so soft/wet/muddy that I believe it will require another 3-4 days so equipment doesn’t ruin field?? Best of luck to everyone! |

| IN MY OPINION,, Someone is using a New Holland 850 round baler ,, my good friend ran all over the country with a One Eighty Allis an 850 making thousands of bales, not meant to bash ., |

All mine is done. I had real good luck this year. I took off last week and it didn't rain, it still hasn't rained. I've got 60 rolls in this barn, I got 34 in another. The rest I have to store outside. I need a big hay barn.

| We did real good this year. Put up 23 5X5 rolls off of 8 acres. Almost double from last year. Of course seeding and fertilizer this spring helped! |
