Then one year they brought it a hay baler and we got a dollar a day to lift the heavy bales up onto the hay wagon. They told us to remember that the bales only weighed 85 pounds, but it felt like they weighed a hundred to me. Around here they usually got a second cutting of alfalfa. <br /><br />This year, 2016, has been dry for the most part since the first of July. We got no rain to speak of. But today, we are getting a steady rain and I know everything alive is jumping for joy--a drink of water is what was badly needed and we are getting it.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907775548207024225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-56283143426463799302016-08-13T18:49:08.644-04:002016-08-13T18:49:08.644-04:00Glad you got it done!

Everything a person could want, including your own hay field.<br /><br />When I build the winter dog bunker each year, I take the truck and buy about 15 bales. I have to pay Home Depot up to $7.50 a bale.<br /><br />In 1989, there was a terrible drought here and the hay did not grow. The people with cattle and horses were really worried, because they didn't see how they were going to get through the winter. But farmers and ranchers from out West sent 18 wheeler loads of hay to them for free. People here, the older ones, anyway, still remember that with gratitude.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-36291483953232072472016-08-13T02:52:37.398-04:002016-08-13T02:52:37.398-04:00From what i see here...it's a lot.

We are having to water the yard every single day now just to keep things ALIVE.... Sad---how some areas get so much rain and others, none.<br /><br />Looks like you have quite a large bit of hay. Not being a farmer (for any part of my life), I think the only time I ever bought hay was for an outdoor Halloween Decoration....
