[AT] test

[John Hall]

Rain--thats the difference! Early August it stopped. Been raining heavy 
all year then basically nothing.  My corn is way drier than I would like 
for it to be, all the rain pushed maturity and now no rain has it really 
dry in the field. I'm about 1/4 done cutting. Noticed a hydraulic line 
under the cab leaking tonight so that will be tomorrow afternoons 
adventure. I'm still loving those LED lighst I put on a couple years back!

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.
