[AT] test

[Spencer Yost]

I've had friends and/or hired teenage help with all my other cuttings the past few years (I contracted the baling in previous years but still had to handle the bales) but no help was available this weekend.   So loading was all on me this time.    Keeps me in shape (-;


And John:   We had 6+" of rain in August and decent rains in July after my second cutting.  A wet, hot  August and hot dry early September must equal a decent third cutting.  In all of my years of haymaking, I must admit this is probably one of my top 2-3 third cuttings.  Half the time I just have it top it with a finish mower because it never really makes or makes so late in the year it would not dry if I did try to bale it.
