They weather held. What a good thing to have happen.
Although the mornings were a tad chilly, and it took awhile for the dew to dry to just the right point.
The hay crew and Terry got ever last bale in the field stacked and covered.
Monday it started to sprinkle around 9 in the morning, with a weatherperson’s promise of more to come.
Monday morning the irrigation water was started for the last time on the hay field. Helping it go into the winter in a good way.
Joy on the farm and in farm yard!

Well done – Terry and Linda.
I never doubted for a moment.
Your work of endless hours has paid off.
As we say – “Down Under” – Bloody well done, mates!
Cheers

We’ve just had our first rain for months, not enough to do anything except make the weeds grow and give the cane a little longer to put on sugar… Give it a couple of months and the Wet should start in a big way, along with the big heat and humidity. This is such a good time of year… for both of us!

A bit of relief from the frantic activities of summer farm life.
If you have some hail bails left over, here’s a good idea, either for advertising to sell them or to use them. We urban farmers have little choice and I’ll be growing a veggie garden this way next spring

Thankfully we haven’t had any bad bales this year, but when we do, we just give them to people to use in their gardens.

I’m kind of anxious to give the idea a try next spring. Our house has concrete on all sides except the front year, so I’m gonna place a double row on the sides, plant and see how well they do that way.

I know that lots of people do that around here and seem to really like it. Seems to work well for potatoes. 🙂

Only the irrigation on the corn…we have a week left on the alfalfa field. Once it’s wet…then we are done with all irrigation for the year.

Yay!! So happy for you! What a great feeling to be all done and under wraps before the rains came! We are in need of rain here as it really is time to turn the irrigation wells off and the bolls to mature and open. Small rains would be beneficial.
Blessings!
