[AT] OT new holland rake teeth

[charlie hill]

Spencer, to quote a friend of mine about a month ago "it can't get in 
wetter, just deeper"
and it's been raining ever since he said that.

Thank goodness for dry weather! My farm weather station has recorded 6.11 
inches of rain so far in May. The Greensboro airport reports 8.4 inches. It 
is been so very wet - wettest on record for the Greensboro airport.  In fact 
it's going to take a couple days of sun to dry up the ground enough to let 
the hay lay on it..
