Timing is always so critical in farming. The only thing that our abundance of rain messed with was our hay cutting. I think we will only get one cutting this year, but we have enough from last year to be good for this winter. <br /><br />In the past few days, we have had about 1.8 inches of rain, and (according to my husband farmer!) that will help even out the beans and get us ready for harvest in the next ten days or so! I'm just hoping we get out of the fields before December 10. That was our finish date last year. That harvest was way too long! Some farmers around here did not get the last of their corn out until this spring! Imagine having to drive by your corn in the field all winter!

This Spring we couldn'...I hear ya on the rain. This Spring we couldn't wait for it to quit raining and didn't finish in the fields until the 4th of July. Now we couldn't get rain to save our lives. We have had like 2 inches in a month. Gotta love Mother Nature.Heather @ 3 kids and lots of pigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615277156454776548noreply@blogger.com
