[AT] Hay

[Greg Hass]

Ralph, you are where we were a year ago. No rain until July; the wheat 
got no rain from when the snow melted until it was getting ripe. We have 
some big hay growers in our area to supply feed to the big dairys in the 
area. They were cutting when the hay was 6 inches hoping for rain to 
start the next cutting.  This year we have the opposite problem; I was 
going to plant edible beans Saturday but when I went to get seed they 
talked me out of it saying  we could get too much rain (for those of you 
not familiar with this type of bean, they don't like wet feet, and it 
has always been said you want them up in three days.)   Well, we got an 
inch of rain yesterday, clear today but over 50% chance for the next 
three days, if you could believe the weatherman. Places 70 mile south of 
us got 4 inches that they did not need and, Ralph, I am sure they would 
send it your way if they could.
