cutting hay

Anybody ever cut hay in the rain?
40% chance of rain today ,then 90 degrees the next 2 ,with sun.
I'm thinking it'll be alright,what do you all think.

Of course. I should give you the longest drying time. Remember, it's already wet.

Nothing wrong with it getting a little wet right after cutting.
It's getting wet a day or so later that causes problems.

Hey.

Cutting "in" the rain will not give you a clean cut. Think about "conditioner" of old...
