Our first cutting was rained on so many times, it wasn't good for anything but garden mulch.

So much for the weather forecasters!

Beautiful hay!

I see your using a wire tie baler, what the price on wire this year? The NH 283 balers are good one's, wish I had a setup like yours.

Its about 60 dollars a box for Wire... I just like wire better then string to me you can get tighter bales we bale about 200 lbs and we get 80 to 100 lb bales and sale them all day long for 7.50 a bail.

Still to much dew on my fields to bail right now.

Well time to go work in the garden ill be back and forth.

We used to have a New Holland bailer similiar to yours, but it took string. Always had a problem with it knoting the string correctly all time.

Had a John Deere rake made like yours, and used a sickle mower to cut the hay with.

We sold everything and just buy hay now. The 2 of us are getting too old and feeble to work hay.

I like that nice pine tree near the house. Sure is pretty.

Is that a hwy I can see in the background of some of the pics?

I am surprised that CA has fields. I just had in my mind that all of CA was just subdivisions and housing except for the grape vineards. LOL

Well that not a freeway but it is a road near by. Were actually In northern California.

Put down 577 bales tonight before got to wet to bail from the dew.

I'm trying to find anther 283 wire bailer or Ill have to buy a brand new one in about 5 years.

Im thinking of dropping an ag well in that away I can water when ever I want instead of waiting for irragation every 14 days it seams like now.
