My great granddaughter turned 3 years old a few days ago, and as birthdays tend to do, it caused me to think about how time slips by so quickly. An urban legend says that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is put in warm water that is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not notice the danger and will be cooked to death.

We have had two years of extreme drought conditions which has everyone’s hay lots bare or very low. Following an excellent rain the 2nd week of September, some fields did recover enough to get a last final cutting. Although it may not be high in yields, whatever we get is much appreciated. Now the next step is getting the hay cured with the cool temperatures and avoiding baling hay with a high moisture content. Moisture content for round baled hay should not be more than 18%, for square bales 20% is the recommended number. Unlike most falls, we have not really had a problem finding a window of 4 or 6 days required to get hay cured and down to the proper moisture content. However, it still pays to be patient and let the hay get cured down to avoid spoilage or possible fires.
