As the summer begins, so does the haying season and the farm landscape is seeing some large round hay bales as the first crop hay is being harvested.

Even with all of the modern technology, the weather is still a big guess for farmers trying to get enough dry days between cutting and baling hay when the forecasts are often wrong. With rain predicted tonight and for the upcoming days, I’m sure there was a scramble to get as much hay baled as possible before the storms.

The hay fields had a lot of activity yesterday as farmers raced to get the hay baled before the rain moved in today, and this field, filled with round hay bales, which beat the storm clouds.

The brief thunderstorm yesterday may have stopped the combine harvesting corn next to me, but I’m sure the harvesting equipment will be rolling again soon as there is still a lot of acres to get in before the snow flies. This field has a double workout with both the harvest of the corn and then the corn stalks are baled for cattle feed and bedding.
