    Wonder what model that Vermeer baler is? It looks to be the latest model out that is a total redesign Vermeer. Looks to be making a good bale.

    You could just put on a couple extra pairs of underwear. That's what I do.

    Nice!
    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    Only the second hay cutting... in Sept???? Beautiful pics but man, hay must be bad business this year.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    We were under drought conditions here most of the summer. It finally rained enough about a month ago to kick start it again. Prices for hay are all over the place right now. Estimates here in MO are indicating the hay crop being about 50% lower than last year...

    Up here to Iowa, we get 2 cuttings of grass hay a year, 3 of alfalfa.

    Less in a drought.

    Since you are taking the photos, that can't be you pulling the baler. Ain't being a gentleman farmer swell?[8D] Thanks for the memories, you know that is almost where I grew up.

    I do recall this was your neck of the woods. I did not grow up here, but it certainly has become my home...[:)]. I do like working around my place, but mostly I stay out of the way....that is likely the safest move for all of us...[;)]

    "Only the second hay cutting... in Sept???? Beautiful pics but man, hay must be bad business this year."

    There ain't no second cutting in north MO this year and not a he!! of lot for the first cutting. Last year in one cutting, I baled 285 bales. This year I baled 85 bales.
    Corn harvest?? Probably 25% of the corn was nearly worthless and got chopped for silage to supplement the low hay crop. I pulled a corn yield sample last Thursday and found 10% of the ears are the size of my fist, the rest were only double that size.
