2018 Hay Season

Friday, June 15, 2018

Today, we start the 2018 Hay Season in earnest. 2 Fields on this farm are cut, and laying on the ground to cure (dry). In a few days there will be about 500 bales of hay to put in this barn. The bales are light...about 40 lbs each.

My huge problem is finding some willing teens to work (for cash) for us. We just need help for 2 days, and pay a good wage. It is just amazing that, although we live in a rural area with a small town nearby.....no Teens are wanting to get a job. We are about the become desperate.

One big problem that I have is with my Hubby's friends. They are very willing and happy to take his hospitality to go on his hunting trips....with hubby doing all the camp cooking...for about 4 weeks a year. These friends all disappear when he needs help for 2 days. They have every kind of excuse you can imagine, need a hair cut, toenails are bad, boots are worn out, going fishing, allergies, dental, physical, stress, hangnail, stomach ache, gas, heartburn, old man crap, got to go somewhere.... etc... you know it really irritates me. The BUMS.

The only good thing about this year is..... that I finally put a stop to taking on someone Else's hay. That work last year was a true killer for us. No More!
