Murphy's Law

[Texasmark]

Most all my non August haying has been fight the weather. Same thing this spring getting my Peas and Jumbo Rye baled....had to feed it green (like chop) as it just wouldn't dry and started getting hot.

So in another field, that I could cut now in the boot, I decided I was tired of fighting the weather and was going to let it turn brown and then bale it. I see out 10 days or more on Intellicast and there isn't a rain drop to be seen. Pffffffffffffft. I might cut it and then again I might not.....unlike the margarine commercial of years ago.....I'm "going to" fool with "mother nature".....ha. We'll see how far I get.

IMNSHO...In the history of all mankind...If there was ever a soul that deserved to be lynched it was that ******* "Murphy"...

...The SOB should have been strung up before he ever came up with that effing law...!

'Ol Murphy has few friends. Brother - I'm glad I looked up your "IMNSHO" I though it meant - "In my normal Sh*t house opinion".

I hate hay...

I have hated hay since I was a kid...

And it has everything to do with the window of weather needed to make it. Here in Maine, we just don't get long stretches of good weather some years. :-(

I was hoping to switch to silage this year, but sadly it looks like another year of hay. I just like silage more. The sheep do good on it, the window of weather to produce it is dramatically less, and not as much equipment.

(Silage being chopped grass silage in a bunk and not baleage.)

As I have said before, probably elsewhere, if I can't get a decent window to bale hay in Texas correctly, how do you folks up there survive. Hats off to you. Wink!
