Well, I ended up with 452 bales of bermuda off my 7 acre field. It's a little short of the 500 I was hoping for but still more than ever before. It just started raining and my wife still isn't back with the fertilizer. Hopefully it will keep up most of the day and I won't have to pull out the sprinkler to get it watered in. The nice thing about that bermuda field is I can go out and work in it with the tractor in the rain and it won't hurt the grass. I might have to go back later and fill in the ruts with the rear blade but it still won't hurt anything, it grows back so fast.
The weather here is really unpredictable. Normally we don't get our first freeze till November but I've seen 12 inches of snow before Halloween and 90 degrees in December before too. Being so unpredictable our pecan trees get frosted about 2 out of 3 years but when we do get a crop it's a HUGE one off of them.
I just hope I can get at least one more cutting off my alfalfa and bermuda fields so I can put up hay for myself for the winter. So far we've been selling it all just to stay on top of the equipment payments and twice I had to hire someone else to do it because my new tractor was in the shop. It's been a crappy year in that respect.
